Do you have a better suggestion where it should move to? drivers/gpu/drm - no, because v4l2 wants to use it drivers/media/video - no, because DRM drivers want to use it drivers/video - no, because v4l2 and drm drivers want to use it Maybe drivers/of-graph/ ? Or maybe it's just as good a place to move it into drivers/of ? -- FTTC broadband for 0.8mile line: 5.8Mbps down 500kbps up.
