It would be better to add the "Files:" field to explicitly indicate what files will be removed, like the modified version of your patch. Please check if those are the files you're meaning to remove:

Hi,

Good idea, but the files listed for the quickcam_messenger obsolete are wrong, those should be:
drivers/media/video/usbvideo/quickcam_messenger.[c,h]

Regards,

Hans

cx23885 HVR-1700 broken in v4l drivers vs standard kernel

Hi

if I use stock kernel (Suse) 2.6.27.23-0.1 the card works, scans and plays DVB-T channels.
if I use the latest v4l drivers the card is recognised, and picked up, tunes a channel, but cannot find any DVB-T channels.

I'm afraid I'm not sure what to look for

Thanks
