2008-08-22V4L: check inval in video_register_device_index()Mauro Carvalho Chehab
From: Henrik Kretzschmar <henne@nachtwindheim.de> Better check the video_device pointer before using it. Signed-off-by: Henrik Kretzschmar <henne@nachtwindheim.de> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@infradead.org>
2008-08-09V4L: fix return value of register video funcMauro Carvalho Chehab
From: Henrik Kretzschmar <henne@nachtwindheim.de> If a wrong device type is used with video_register_device_index() it should better return an error number, instead of a constant. Signed-off-by: Henrik Kretzschmar <henne@nachtwindheim.de> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@infradead.org>
2008-08-12v4l2: fix for kernels <= 2.6.17Hans Verkuil
From: Hans Verkuil <hverkuil@xs4all.nl> class and devt should also be set for kernels 2.6.16 and 2.6.17. This was the case originally, but unfortunately an earlier patch of mine inadvertently left in an incorrect #if/#endif pair. Priority: normal Signed-off-by: Hans Verkuil <hverkuil@xs4all.nl>

2008-07-30v4l: move BKL down to the driver level.Hans Verkuil
From: Hans Verkuil <hverkuil@xs4all.nl> The BKL is now moved from the video_open function in v4l2-dev.c to the various drivers. It seems about a third of the drivers already has a lock of some sort protecting the open(), another third uses video_exclusive_open (yuck!) and the last third required adding the BKL in their open function.

2008-07-26v4l2-dev: remove unused type and type2 field from video_deviceHans Verkuil
From: Hans Verkuil <hverkuil@xs4all.nl> The type and type2 fields were unused and so could be removed. Instead add a vfl_type field that contains the type of the video device. Signed-off-by: Hans Verkuil <hverkuil@xs4all.nl>
2008-07-20videodev: renamed 'class_dev' to 'dev'Hans Verkuil
From: Hans Verkuil <hverkuil@xs4all.nl> The class_dev field is a normal device, not a class device. This is very confusing and now that the old 'dev' field has been renamed to 'parent' we can rename 'class_dev' to just 'dev'. Signed-off-by: Hans Verkuil <hverkuil@xs4all.nl>
2008-07-20videodev: rename 'dev' to 'parent'Hans Verkuil
From: Hans Verkuil <hverkuil@xs4all.nl> The field 'dev' is not the video device, but the parent of the video device. Rename accordingly. Signed-off-by: Hans Verkuil <hverkuil@xs4all.nl>
2008-07-20videodev: split off the ioctl handling into v4l2-ioctl.cHans Verkuil
From: Hans Verkuil <hverkuil@xs4all.nl> videodev.c became top-heavy so all the ioctl processing has been split off into v4l2-ioctl.c. This means videodev.c is back to its original purpose: creating and registering v4l devices. Since videodev.c and v4l2-ioctl.c should still remain one module (as least for now) I also had to rename videodev.c to v4l2-dev.c to prevent a circular dependency when building a videodev.ko module. This is not a bad thing, since the source and header now have the same name. And the v4l2- prefix is useful to see which sources are generic v4l2 support code.
