The tarball containing the easycap driver is available for collection at
your convenience from:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/easycapdc60/files/tmp/KandR4staging.tar.gz
When you unzip it you will find a directory named easycap which I think
may be suitable for dropping directly into drivers/staging. There is
also a file patch.txt which shows the one-line changes I made to files
drivers/staging/Kconfig and drivers/staging/Makefile in order to achieve
an in-tree build of the driver on kernel 2.6.34 cloned from git.
I have reformatted all the source code to meet the requirements of
scripts/checkpatch.pl. The reformatted code builds without complaint
against 2.6.32 and the test runs I have done with mplayer, tvtime and
vlc give results indistinguishable from those of the pre-reformatted
version 0.8 of the driver still available at Sourceforge. (This could
not be taken for granted because the reformatting was done mostly by
hand editing and one cannot rule out the possibility of typos which do
not break the compilation but nevetheless trash the logic.)
I have not been able to do test runs of the module built in-tree on
2.6.34 because this kernel refuses to boot on the old machine I use for
easycap stuff. Probably I did something wrong during/after the kernel
build, but since each build takes nearly four hours I don't have time at
the moment to investigate what.
Let me know if there are any immediate problems I need to fix.
