This single patch contains some updates and cleanups for the W996[87]CF driver and a new experimental V4L2 driver for SONiX SN9C10[12] PC Camera Controllers connected to various image sensors. I have not divided the patch in two logical sub-patches becouse of two independent changes in one common file, KConfigure. Since this mailing list refused the patch, due to its size, I have uploaded it here, as Documentation/SubmittingPatches suggests:
http://go.lamarinapunto.com/downloads/linux-2.6.7.patch More informations about the SN9C10[12] can be found there in the documentation. The driver is marked as "EXPERIMENTAL", meaning that there are no known bugs, but further testing is necessary before considering it stable. This the first driver using the new SBGGR8 video format, which has been recently added to the mainline kernel, so there are no available user application at the moment: this is one more reason why it should be in the kernel now. Changes in W996[87]CF: - remove w9968cf_externaldef.h now that ovcamchip.h is in the kernel; - mark user pointers with __user in a cleaner way to avoid sparse warnings; - use appropriate exclusive wait macro during open(); - replace info(), err(), warn() with dev_info(), dev_err(), dev_warn(), pr_debug(), pr_info(); - replace usb_unlink_urb() + wait_for_completion() with usb_kill_urb(); - fix memory offsets for buffers in the chip to be used with generic image sensors; - 'vppmod_load', 'debug', 'specific_debug' and 'simcams' module parameters are now writeable by default; - fix possible race conditions between disconnect() and open(); - add automatic 'ovcamchip' module loading option with 'ovmod_load' module parameter; - get rid of deprecated intermodule communication routines and use the correct module registration/unregistration approach; - remove period at the end of kernel messages; - fix several typos; - use MODULE_VERSION() macro; - other small internal cleanups; - documentation updates. Signed-off-by: Luca Risolia <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Greg, I have already CC'ed the same patch to you three or four times before I realized that this mailing list was discarding my emails silently. I am sorry for this. Thanks.
