Good point! I'm c/c the author of it.
The actual patch for media is this one:
https://patchwork.linuxtv.org/patch/39753/
It sounds that the author didn't sent any version after that.
The goal seemed to be to add P010 support at DRM for the rockchip driver.
specifically with regards to patch 2/3, the issues seemed to be:
- some naming issues with the multiplane format variants;
- a typo: simliar -> similar;
- a comment about the usage of 1/2 UTF code (½). Not sure if
Sphinx will handle it well for both html and pdf outputs.
It should, but better to double check.
Ayaka,
There is a UVC media device that supports P010 device. We're discussing
about adding support for it on media. The full thread is at:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-media/20190109121900.hbrpttmxz3gaotwx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/T/#m8c395156ca0e898e4c8b1e2c6309d912bc414804
We've seen that you tried to submit a patch series for DRM adding
support for it at the rockship driver. What's the status of such
series?
Thanks,
Mauro
