To quote the TODO of this driver:
--------------------------------------------------------------
The driver is deprecated and scheduled for removal by the end
of 2020.
In order to prevent removal the following actions would have to
be taken:
- clean up the code
- convert to the vb2 framework
- fix the disconnect and free-on-last-user handling (i.e., add
a release callback for struct v4l2_device and rework the code
to use that correctly).
--------------------------------------------------------------
Nobody picked this up, so it's time to retire this driver.
Regards,
Hans
