Re: [GIT PATCHES] V4L/DVB fixes for 2.6.26


I can make a patch for it after this pull went into Linus' tree if it is
considered an acceptable option.

It would be nice if you could help on fixing those issues.

One dependency that will probably solve is to add "depends on VIDEO_MEDIA &&
I2C" to all devices that are hybrid (bttv, saa7134, cx88, pvrusb, em28xx).

What about converting all dependencies on I2C to select's?

This seems to be a good idea.

VIDEO_V4L2_COMMON might perhaps need a small trick,

I suspect that this can now be replaced by VIDEO_DEV, on webcam/radio drivers
or VIDEO_MEDIA for hybrid V4L/DVB drivers. Btw, I think we can replace
VIDEO_MEDIA into just MEDIA.

but otherwise that
would be a straightforward solution to solve these problems.

This will solve several troubles. Still, I think that there are still some
other missing dependencies (like INPUT, on drivers that select IR).

Any problem I miss or should I bake a patch?

I can't see any trouble on this approach. Feel free to work on it.

Thanks,
Mauro
