I found that only "codec driver for SI476X MFD" is pushed in kernel 3.8 by Mark Brown and that's all, is it? I can't find this patch series on patchwork.linuxtv.org or in media git trees, for example, scheduled for 3.9. I also see that comments for this patches aren't answered and looks like v4 is necessary. Andrey, do you plan to make v4 series? May be it was already emailed but i can't find it. Maybe review or comments from alsa and mfd communities are missed? So, without v4 it will not find its way into kernel, right? -- Best regards, Klimov Alexey -- 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
