The "lots of changes and tests" part is indeed the problem. Furthermore I clearly remember discussing this with Michael a couple years ago (during the i2c device driver model rework) and telling him I would never force DVB to make use of i2c_client if they did not want to. I gave my word, taking it back now would be unfair. Well at least the new i2c model would make it possible, this wasn't the case before, but this is such a huge amount of work that I certainly don't want to push this on anyone. -- Jean Delvare -- 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
