Hi everybody, A bit less than one year after Hans' initial media controller proposal, I'm happy to report that we've finally reached the point where an initial working implementation can be sent for review. Before going any further, I'd like to thank everybody who made this possible, including Hans for his initial proposal and his advices throughout the 10 months of development, my Nokia colleagues who have provided patches, feedback and nasty bug reports :-) (in alphabetical order Antti, David, Sakari, Stan, Tuukka and Vimarsh), and all the developers who participated in the LPC 2009 and Helsinki 2010 V4L2 summits where the media controller was extensively discussed. Without waiting any further, Ladies and Gentlemen, here are at last the media controller patches, ready for review. The first 7 patches provide the media controller core (including documentation !) and the last 3 add media controller support to the V4L2 core. I will send another patch set that further enhance the V4L2 API and provide the OMAP3 ISP driver as the first example of the media controller usage. Those patches are not meant to be reviewed yet (I still need to document the new APIs), so please consider them as sample code only. I wish you all a happy review, and please don't punch, kick or otherwise bite too hard.
