Jean: Here's a description of what I've got on the front burner right now:
1. The pvrusb2 driver now can unambiguously know if it is dealing with a device that is known to have ir-kbd-i2c compatible IR capabilities. 2. There is a new module option, "disable_autoload_ir_kbd", which if present and set to 1 will indicate that ir-kbd should not be loaded. 2. Based upon (1) and (2), the driver will optionally attempt to load ir-kbd using the code from your patch. 3. In the pvrusb2 case, the only i2c address that currently matters is 0x18 (though I have some suspicions about another case but that can be dealt with later), so I trimmed the probe list in the register function you had added. Since calling i2c_new_probed_device() for a non-existent target driver doesn't cause any harm, then merging the above now should not result in any kind of regression. So it can go in even before the rest of your changes. That I believe also removes the objection Mauro had - this way there's no issues / dependencies. I've tested this enough to know that it at least doesn't do any further harm. I will put this up in a changeset shortly. With all that said, we should not ignore lirc and instead do whatever is reasonable to help ensure it continues to work. Though admittedly there's been plenty of opportunity to update and this whole transition has been going on for a long time. The stuff I describe above should at least keep the pvrusb2 driver out of the fray for now. -Mike -- Mike Isely isely @ pobox (dot) com PGP: 03 54 43 4D 75 E5 CC 92 71 16 01 E2 B5 F5 C1 E8 -- 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
