Patches still pending at linux-media queue (18 patches)

I did a big effort those days to cleanup the patchwork queue. I'm still finishing to handle the git pull requests.

As several noticed, we had a very bad time with patchwork on the last weeks, due to some troubles at patchwork.kernel.org. That included:
- Patches that disappeared from patchwork;
- Patches that lost email body/SOB/From/Ack/Nack fields;
- Patches sent that weren't caught by patchwork;
- Patchwork lack of availability;
- sync troubles between the mysql instances used by patchwork.

I've made a hard effort to recover those patches, and also did the kernel.org maintainer. John, thank you for your help.

I also did an effort to cleanup most of the old stuff from patchwork. On several cases, the patch were already applied, or another approach was taken. I also fixed manually some trivial troubles I've detected.

There are still 18 patches pending for merge, as described bellow.

		== New patches == 

Those require more tests and/or reviews to be applied, as they are new. There are two patches related to UVC, 2 patches related to stv0899, 2 patches for cx18 and one VB1 patch. The last one requires more care, as videobuf is used on lots of drivers, So, tests for it are welcome.

I understood that this patch will follow via Tejun's tree. I'm keeping it here just for my own control. It will probably be removed after the next merge window.

The last one is my fault: I need some time to work on this one ;) It is not urgent, as it just adds some automation to our DocBook. No functional changes and no documentation changes. So, it has very low priority, but if someone have some time, any help is welcome.

Feel free to merge this. It makes a broken driver slightly less broken.

I don't know when I will have time to create a proper patch that fixes this driver. I need to get the work I'm doing on the control framework done first, and that is taking a lot longer than I would like. But there is no sense in keeping this patch back.

While working on the control framework I found a few bugs. I'll try to make a pull request fixing them today or tomorrow at the latest.

Feb,19 2011: [RFC/PATCH,1/1] tcm825x: convert driver to V4L2 sub device interface http://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/574931 David Cohen <[email protected]>

Hi Mauro,

This is mine and David's long term task. :-)

The tcm825x is the other user of the old v4l2-int-device framework, the one being omap24xxcam. Both are used on the N8[01]0.

Conversion of both of the drivers should go in at the same time. Then the v4l2-int-device framework can be removed. I'll work with David on this. (Cc David.)

Mauro,

Since the original cx18 mmap() patch was commited, the cx18 mmap() cleanup patch is definitely needed: the YUV stream can lose frame alignment without it.

I took a quick look at the cx18 mmap() cleanup patch:

The cx18 version bump patch is trivial:

Jon,
