[beagleboard] RCN kernel 3.13.4-bone5 UVC issue

2014-02-23 Thread David Lambert
I don't know if this is an issue specific to the 3.13 kernel, but I have not seen this on 3.8.13. It appears whenever I attempt to stop UVC video acquisition. I suspect it is something to do with DMA vs. PIO. Please let me know if I should post this elsewhere, or if this is the correct place.

[beagleboard] Kernel/device tree road-map for the BBB

I am contemplating moving from 3.8.x to 3.13.x kernels due to the apparent improvement in USB support. I am confused, however, as to the state of device trees/overlays and their relationship with capes. It appears to me that 3.8.x kernels use device tree overlays managed by an internal kernel
