Yes, but it was added on the previous patch that moved the master driver
(av7110):
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-media/4e7136434c68eabcdb66d25f44946ab794f4af0b.1622476959.git.mchehab+huawei@xxxxxxxxxx/T/#u
The TODO is just saying:
This driver is too old and relies on a different API.
Drop it from Kernel on a couple of versions.
(there was a typo there, I'll fix at the next version)
Thanks,
Mauro
