It looks a lot better. I reviewed the patches, and as you can see I had
a bunch of comments, most of which shouldn't be too hard to correct.

The main open issues are the custom ioctls and custom controls.

I need more information on those. As I mentioned in my reviews, I think
(most of) the controls can be standardized, but I have serious doubts
about the usefulness of the ioctls. But without documentation and some
argumentation of why they are needed it is hard for me to make a decision.
I do suspect that VIDIOC_LOG_STATUS might be all you need here.

Thanks for all the work!

Regards,

Hans

[PATCH v2 0/6] A driver for Si476x series of chips

2012-10-05 Thread Andrey Smirnov
This is a second version of the patchset originaly posted here:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/9/13/590

To save everyone's time I'll repost the original description of it:


This patchset contains a driver for a Silicon Laboratories 476x series
of radio tuners. The driver itself is implemented as an MFD devices
comprised of three parts: 1. Core device that provides all the other
devices with basic functionality and locking scheme. 2. Radio device
that translates between V4L2 subsystem requests into Core device
commands. 3. Codec device that does similar to the earlier described
task, but for ALSA SoC subsystem.

This driver has been tested to work in two different sytems: 1. A
 custom Tegra-based ARM board(design is based on Harmony board)
 running linux kernel 3.1.10 kernel 2. A standalone USB-connected
 board that has a dedicated Cortex M3 working as a transparent USB to
 I2C bridge which was connected to a off-the-shelf x86-64 laptop
 running Ubuntu with 3.2.0 kernel.

As far as SubmitChecklist is concerned following criteria should be
satisfied: 2b, 3, 5, 7, 9, 10


Now it is made against git.linuxtv.org/media_tree.git repository
instead of linux-stable.

I tried to take into account all the flaws pointed by Mark and Hans,
but since the amount of changes I had to made was not trivial I
wouldn't be surprized if I missed something that was shown to me. I
would like to appologize in advance if this patchset contains some
unfixed problems pointed out in the previous version.
