Especially the ugly device-usb-id-referencing. RFC is scheduled to first working week. Before that I can list all issues I am aware and I am planning to fix. Good starting point of looking problems is AF9015 driver and some other that reads device configuration from eeprom and sets config struct values. > What do you mean by "new version"? I think it is so much changes that are very hard to do for existing dvb-usb as all individual dvb-usb drivers must be changed. But that will became clear after all changes are clear and RFC is approved. Earlier I have mentioned for example availability of priv/state for first callbacks. I would like to list all all device properties, which are same for chipset, and which are only for one device model (for example remote keytable). > Also adding support for hybrid (analog+dvb-devices) is missing.

But I think I don't have any such device currently - at least I have no own experience. So let's see. Also static limit for amount of individual devices in the config struct is something I would like to fix. Now it is over 10 device models, but as we have devices more than 10 it is needed to add multiple configurations. IIRC AF9015 has 3 currently. But I am now on weekend trip. I will list issues more detailed in next week. regards Antti -- 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
