I made the branch already for 2.4 with tag lk2-4. I am just about to commit most of 2.5<->2.4 changes back to 2.4. > But if you can get the refcount changes into 2.4.21 then maybe we > don't need to branch at all? I am optimistic, it is backported from 2.5.53-54 changes. In 2.5.54+, the mentioned video4linux drivers were converted. Without i2c, video4linux backporting can not proceed. And i2c-proc used .owner in 2.3.37 already. The branch is still useful. I would like to push some changes to i2c interface during the 2.5 cycle, without worrying about 2.4 compatibility: - i2c-algo-biths - master_send/recv removal (issues with multi-master) - pass *client with i2c_transfer (have per-client speed) - master transmitter as slave receiver -- Ky?sti M?lkki kmalkki at cc.hut.fi
