[PATCH 1/4] media: add change_source handler function pointer

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

 



Add change_source handler function pointer to struct media_device. Using
the change_source handler, driver can disable current source and enable
new one in one step when user selects a new input.
