Hi Laurent & Sakari, Regarding the omap3camera/devel branch: In v4l2-common.c:v4l2_i2c_new_subdev_board(), request_module() is called to ensure that the sensor driver is already registered before registering the sensor device. When I compile-in both my sensor driver and omap34xxcam with the kernel, this call to request_module() fails, and indeed omap34xxcam is initialized before my sensor driver, causing the omap34xxcam device registration to fail. When I leave omap34xxcam compiled-in and try to just let it load the sensor module when needed on bootup, request_module() fails. I haven't managed to track down why that is. When I compile both omap34xxcam and my sensor driver as modules, and load them after boot-up, registration succeeds. Is it neccessary for omap34xxcam and its subdevices to be modules? How are you guys building these? Full disclosure: my sensor is actually an SPI device, but the v4l2_spi_new_subdev() function I'm actually using seems to be _very_ analogous to its I2C counterpart, so I'm assuming SPI is not responsible. thanks, Michael MATRIX VISION GmbH, Talstrasse 16, DE-71570 Oppenweiler Registergericht: Amtsgericht Stuttgart, HRB 271090 Geschaeftsfuehrer: Gerhard Thullner, Werner Armingeon, Uwe Furtner, Hans-Joachim Reich -- 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
