I can't yet fully understand what API agnostic driver means, but if it is like the implementation of the current i2c tuner/demod drivers, each adapter drivers must (re-)implement common codes like module loading/ref-counting and demod/tuner drivers must implement dvb-core related initializations on their own. In addition, they may take different ways in how the data like "fe", config data and other device specific output parameters are passed around between adapters and demod/tuners. I thought it would be better to intergrate those common codes into dvb_core to ease maintainance and let each driver concentrate on driver-specific things. And don't the current i2c tuner drivers already depend on dvb_core practically by implementing dvb_tuner_ops functions and filling in their pointers into fe->ops.tuner_ops? regards, akihiro -- 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
