After a quick scan through the sources in svn I found the following (in no
particular order):
- Supports easycap model with ID 05e1:0408: a driver for this model is now
in driver/staging/easycap.
Can you elaborate? Is this the same hardware?
- format conversion must be moved to libv4lconvert (if that can't already be
used out of the box). Ditto for software brightness correction.
- kill off the sysfs bits
- kill off V4L1
- use the new control framework for the control handling
- use video_ioctl2 instead of the current ioctl function
- use unlocked_ioctl instead of ioctl
Ok, major surgery then :)
But probably the first step should be to see if this can't be made part of the
gspca driver. I can't help thinking that that would be the best approach. But
I guess the gspca developers can give a better idea of how hard that is.
I've looked at the framework provided by gspca, it would probably
allow to drop most of the USB support code from the driver.
Yeah, that is the whole idea :) I give a big +1 to the Hans' suggestion
to convert this to a gspca driver!
I'm looking into frame handling.
Let me know if you need any help / explanation about how certain things
are done in gspca.
Regards,
Hans G (aka the other Hans).
