Generic comment about platform overview presentations: please skip the small details (we don't need a list of registers :-)), but make sure the overall architecture is properly explained. A functional block diagram is very helpful, and platform-specific features or restrictions should be explained where useful (such as requirements on memory types, hardware ability to run several things in parallel, status of the current driver if any, ...). > 2) Removal of V4L1: status of driver conversion in the kernel, status of > moving v4l1->v4l2 conversion into libv4l1.

I will prepare a presentation on the current state of videobuf, highlighting the issues. I can also present the OMAP3 ISP video buffers handling code that I wrote to replace videobuf in that particular driver. > 4) Multi-planar support. Pawel Osciak. > > 5) Media Controller Roadmap. Laurent Pinchart. This probably warrants a > short presentation. There will be a presentation of the media controller concepts (to get everybody up to date) and on the current state of the implementation. I can also present our TODO list, but a proper roadmap is probably something we should discuss all together. > 6) TO DO list regarding V4L2 core framework including the new control > framework.
