The organization between DVB only, V4L only and hybrid devices are somewhat confusing on our tree. From time to time, someone proposes changing one driver from one place to another or complains that "his device is DVB only but it is inside the V4L tree" (and other similar requests). This sometimes happen because the same driver can support analog only, digital only or hybrid devices. Also, one driver may start as a DVB only or as a V4L only and then it can be latter be converted into an hybrid driver. So, the better is to rearrange the drivers tree, in order to fix this issue, removing them from /video and /dvb, and storing them on a better place. So, my proposal is to move all radio, analog TV, digital TV, webcams and grabber bridge drivers to this arrangement: drivers/media/isa - ISA drivers drivers/media/usb - USB drivers drivers/media/pci - PCI/PCIe drivers drivers/media/platform - platform drivers Comments? Regards, Mauro - PS.: for now, I don't intend to touch at I2C/ancillary drivers. We may latter move the i2c drivers that aren't frontend/tuners to media/i2c or to media/common. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
