PATCH 1/1 video: fix build bugs in drivers/media/video/stk-webcam.c

x86.git randconfig testing found these build bugs in current -git:

drivers/media/video/stk-webcam.c: In function 'stk_create_sysfs_files':
drivers/media/video/stk-webcam.c:340: error: implicit declaration of function 'video_device_create_file' drivers/media/video/stk-webcam.c: In function 'stk_remove_sysfs_files':
[...]
drivers/media/video/stk-webcam.c: In function 'v4l_stk_mmap':
drivers/media/video/stk-webcam.c:846: error: 'VM_WRITE' undeclared (first use in this function) [...]

config at:

http://redhat.com/~mingo/misc/config-Tue_Apr_29_15_00_47_CEST_2008.bad

the reason was a missing include file, and a dependency on a deprecated (but still in use) VIDEO_V4L1_COMPAT API.

the reason was a missing include file, and a dependency on a deprecated (but still in use) VIDEO_V4L1_COMPAT API.

The V4L1 symbols are used to help us to track what drivers are still using the depreciated V4L1 API, or otherwise provide support for V4L1 compatibility layer. This is not the case of stkwebcam.

So, instead of the proposed patch, I prefer just to disable the additional non-V4L2 sysfs interface, if the flag is not enabled.

There are some discussions at the ML to create a standard to allow configuring V4L2 controls via sysfs, but this is not standard yet. The idea is to add some support at videodev.h using the same handlers defined by video_ioctl2. Unfortunately, people stopped discussing this, due to the lack of time and people to work on this.

I think this could be a nice addition to V4L2, and will help to avoid creating non-standardized interfaces at sysfs.

I probably missed this.

Instead of Ingo's approach, this seems to be cleaner:

Fix compilation, when V4L1_COMPAT is disabled

From: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <[email protected]>

This driver uses some sysfs helper functions that are available only for legacy drivers. It also requires linux/mm.h.

This patch fixes compiliation when not in compat mode.

Thanks to Ingo Molnar for identifying this issue.

Yeah, that might be the best solution to this problem.
