Can you help porting it to V4L2? I don't have any of the hardware. I was just doing some work on Kconfig and noticed that a bunch of drivers had gone missing. I see now that a lot of the drivers in media/video have the same problem. I guess V4L1 is going to be with us for a while longer since all of these drivers need to get ported. -- Jon Smirl jonsmirl@gmail.com
