Hi, Is there a way to add such drivers to staging branch etc to make testing simple? Some times I don't understand why drivers are included with their current design and others not. Having extra repos like s2-liplianin is great but why were drivers there and non merged upstream? Popular multimedia distros are using that branch and not official driver :-(. Maybe some kind of decision in v4l-dvb should be adapted to fit other requirements. Getting useful answers to questions or problems is another example eg: http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-media@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg12758.html http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-media@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg21646.html I asked about several problems (last 6 months) but got not one useful answer from the lists (linux-media / v4l-dvb). Like this: tda8261_cfg.h: This header-file contains more than only declarations :-(. printk of tuned frequencies or used bandwith is maybe useful for debuging purposes but not for stable drivers in linux kernel. These printk's should be removed or changed to use an vebbose or debug module parameter. Otherwise you get your kernel log filed with useless tdaxxxx messages and big syslog files. Sorry it's really frustrating to ask without getting any kind of answers. Regarding that new driver: I agree the new code should be tested with real dvb/... hardware before merging it upstream. -- 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
