Yes, the driver is weird, as it encapsulates the demod code inside it , instead of using the saa7115 driver, that covers most of saa711x devices, including saa7113. Btw, is this driver really needed? The em28xx driver has support for the Easy Cap Capture DC-60 model (I had access to one of those in the past, and I know that the driver works properly). What's the chipset using on your Easycap device? If it is not an Empiatech em28xx USB bridge, then it makes sense to have a separate driver for it. Otherwise, it is just easier and better to add support for your device there. >> >> Besides, it's being a great learning experience :) >> >> So, since the driver is not yet working I guess there >> is no point in submitting anything. >> >> Instead, anyone the wants to help I can send what I have now >> or we can start working through github. >> If someone owns this device, it would be a *huge* help >> with testing. >> >> However, as soon as this is capturing video I would like >> to put it on staging, so everyone can help. >> Is this possible? > > Yes it is, just send the patches to the correct people (note I don't > control the drivers/staging/media subdirectory.) > > good luck, > > greg k-h -- 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
