Hi Markus,
I am happy to see process is continuously made with the em28xx drivers.
So thumbs up for the work. I am only a bid worried about the chosen
development forking strategy. I know there has been previous attempts to
merge with the upstream v4l project but so far its still a fork.
This makes me wonder what the plans and status is with merging back
upstream and what the community can do to help you with this?
Nima Paknejad is preparing a patch for the git repository, although I
will keep the development as it is. It's much more comfotable to have
it split out for the ongoing development.
As seen with the latest B2C0/drx3975d device also in future it needs
some careful testing. There are still a few things todo in order to
get the critical setup of all devices right.

It would be great for lowering the entry level for developers, users and
maintainers when v4l and em28xx are using the same code repository,
naturally a personal branch of this shared repository for testing and
develop is feasible, and this makes it possible to merge some stable
files back to the main trunk so it will be included with the upstream
Linux kernel (v4l) and all distributions shipping v4l.
If the above is not possible, then its maybe an idea to change the
v4l-devel package so that the build process of the em28xx-new drivers
will not depend on the kernel-source, but only development header files?
Best regards,
Jelle
