Same discussion I had with Andy: it's not a regular eeprom but a dedicated eeprom for EDIDs. And we have support for that already in V4L2. It's specific to receivers as well, so the only subsystem it belongs to is V4L2. See the discussion I had with Andy on this: https://patchwork.linuxtv.org/project/linux-media/patch/20220728114050.2400475-5-hljunggr@xxxxxxxxx/ Regards, Hans > >> The new capability uses the free bit 0x00000008.
