2009-04-01v4l: use usb_interface for v4l2_device_registerJanne Grunau
From: Janne Grunau <j@jannau.net> If usb_interface.dev is used as dev parameter for v4l2_device_register v4l2_dev.name contains the v4l driver/module name and usb device and interface instead of a simple "usb x-y". It also matches the recommendation to set the parent devices for usb drivers. Priority: normal Signed-off-by: Janne Grunau <j@jannau.net>
2009-03-31pxa_camera: Redesign DMA handlingGuennadi Liakhovetski
From: Robert Jarzmik <robert.jarzmik@free.fr> The DMA transfers in pxa_camera showed some weaknesses in multiple queued buffers context : - poll/select problem The bug shows up with capture_example tool from v4l2 hg tree. The process just "stalls" on a "select timeout". - multiple buffers DMA starting When multiple buffers were queued, the DMA channels were always started right away. This is not optimal, as a special case appears when the first EOF was not yet reached, and the DMA channels were prematurely started. - Maintainability DMA code was a bit obfuscated. Rationalize the code to be easily maintainable by anyone. - DMA hot chaining DMA is not stopped anymore to queue a buffer, the buffer is queued with DMA running. As a tribute, a corner case exists where chaining happens while DMA finishes the chain, and the capture is restarted to deal with the missed link buffer. This patch attemps to address these issues / improvements.

2009-04-01v4l2-common: add explicit v4l2_device pointer as first arg to ↵Hans Verkuil
new_(probed)_subdev From: Hans Verkuil <hverkuil@xs4all.nl> The functions v4l2_i2c_new_subdev and v4l2_i2c_new_probed_subdev relied on i2c_get_adapdata to return the v4l2_device. However, this is not always possible on embedded platforms. So modify the API to pass the v4l2_device pointer explicitly. Priority: normal Signed-off-by: Hans Verkuil <hverkuil@xs4all.nl>

2009-03-13v4l2-dev: use parent field if the v4l2_device has no parent set.Hans Verkuil
From: Hans Verkuil <hverkuil@xs4all.nl> Normally the parent device of v4l2_device is used as the video device node's parent. But if it was not set, then use the parent field in the video_device struct. This is needed in the cx88 driver, which has one core v4l2_device but creates multiple pci devices (one each for raw and mpeg video). So you cannot associate the core v4l2_device with a particular PCI device, but you can do that for each video_device. Priority: normal Signed-off-by: Hans Verkuil <hverkuil@xs4all.nl>
