The patch titled
V4L1: make PMS not autoprobe when builtin.
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
v4l1-make-pms-not-autoprobe-when-builtin.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/

Subject: V4L1: make PMS not autoprobe when builtin.
From: Rene Herman <rene.herman@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
The old Mediavision Pro Movie Studio legacy ISA V4L1 driver was found to
hang the boot during Ingo Molnar's testing of randconfig kernels. Have it
require a "pms.enable=1" kernel parameter to enable the driver when
builtin which avoids such problems.
This is a deprecated and, very likely, unused driver. Nothing changes
modular behaviour moreover.
