Hi, excuse me for taking up a very old post again, but I'd like to know the status of the patch: https://patchwork.linuxtv.org/patch/27922/ , which provides helper code for defining/loading i2c DVB subdev drivers.
Was it rejected and each i2c demod/tuner drivers should provide its own version of "attach" code? Or is it acceptable (with some modifications) ? Although not many drivers currently use i2c binding model (and use dvb_attach()), but I expect that coming DVB subdev drivers will have a similar attach code, including module request/ref-counting, device creation, (re-)using i2c_board_info.platformdata to pass around both config parameters and the resulting i2c_client* & dvb_frontend*. Since I have a plan to split out demod/tuner drivers from pci/pt1 dvb-usb/friio integrated drivers (because those share the tc90522 demod driver with pt3, and friio also shares the bridge chip with gl861), it would be nice if I can use the helper code, instead of re-iterating similar "attach" code. -- 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
