We definitely need to check all users of our sensor drivers when making such a change. Mistakes happen, so let's fix them. Guennadi is on holidays until the end of this week. Would that be too late to fix the issue (given that 3.10 is already broken) ? The fix shouldn't be too complex, registering a dummy V4L2 clock in the em28xx driver should be enough. v4l2-clk.c should provide a helper function to do so as that will be a pretty common operation. -- Regards, Laurent Pinchart -- 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
