Is there a way we can get this support merged to the kernel > tree for 2.6.36? The media controller upstreaming process will start in one or two weeks. This will require a lot of time, so everything won't be ready for 2.6.36. This being said, the subdevice userspace API is the first part of the media controller that will be pushed upstream. Getting it ready for 2.6.36 might be a bit difficult, it will depend on how many rc cycles we still get for 2.6.35. It will also depend on how fast the patches get reviewed, so you can help there :-) -- Regards, Laurent Pinchart -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
