Do you think we should move these to staging instead of removing them right away? These drivers have never been in a usable state in the mainline kernel due to missing platform data. Currently they suffer from other problems, too. I'd be surprised if they compile. If I wanted to get them working again I'd start with this since it's not very far from the state where they used to work: <URL:http://vihersipuli.retiisi.org.uk/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=~sailus/linux-omap/.git;a=summary> The branch is n800-cam . Porting to up-to-date APIs can then be done, and I think David did some work to that end. -- Kind regards, Sakari Ailus e-mail: sakari.ailus@xxxxxx XMPP: sailus@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx -- 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
