[RFCv1 PATCH 4/5] DocBook media: fix broken FIELD_ALTERNATE description.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Hans Verkuil <hans.verkuil@xxxxxxxxx>

The sizeimage is that of a single field, not that of a full frame.
That makes no sense, and in fact all drivers supporting ALTERNATE will
set sizeimage to that of a field.
