Subject: V4L/DVB: pvrusb2: New feature to mark specific hardware support as experimental Author: Mike Isely <[email protected]> Date: Sat May 15 00:13:35 2010 -0300 This adds a flag in the device attribute structure which can be used to mark support for a particular device as experimental. Any devices flagged in this way, when encountered at run-time, will generate a warning message to the kernel log.
