dabusb: remove the BKL
PATCH 1/1 dabusb: remove the BKL
The dabusb device driver is sufficiently serialized using its own mutex, no need for the big kernel lock here in addition.
---
Hi Mauro,
I just realized that the dabusb driver is not actually a v4l driver, when I did more test builds with allyesconfig and CONFIG_BKL disabled.
I've added this patch to my bkl/config queue for now, but if you want to carry it in your tree, I'll drop it from mine.

Hi Mauro,
I just realized that the dabusb driver is not actually a v4l driver, when I did more test builds with allyesconfig and
CONFIG_BKLdisabled.I've added this patch to my bkl/config queue for now, but if you want to carry it in your tree, I'll drop it from mine.
Sorry for not handling it sooner... I have a large number of patches in my queue... I don't have any patch for dabusb on my tree, so, I'm OK if you sent it via your tree. So,

PS.: I tried to contact the authors a few weeks ago to double check about this driver. I suspect that it were added for some prototype, based on its help message, and the links I found about that. So, it could be a good idea to simply move it to staging and let it die, as maybe nobody has an actual hardware for it...
Well, I got no answer about that so far.
