Moikka,
Current linux-media make gives error. Any idea what's wrong?

The function em28xx_add_into_devlist() should have been deleted as part of this change:

http://git.linuxtv.org/media_tree.git?a=commitdiff;h=6c03e38b34dcfcdfa2f10cf984995a48f030f039

Its only reference should have been removed at the same time.

Cheers,
Chris

git grep m28xx_add_into_devlis drivers/media/ drivers/media/video/em28xx/em28xx-cards.c: em28xx_add_into_devlist(dev); drivers/media/video/em28xx/em28xx.h:void em28xx_add_into_devlist(struct em28xx *dev);

If you select em28xx-cards.c blob link you give you can see it is there still for some reason.

It's a merge issue. This lingering reference must have been added after I posted my original patch. Fortunately, it's easily fixed: the

    list_add_tail(&dev->devlist, &em28xx_devlist);

operation is now done by ex28xx_init_extension() instead, meaning we only take the devlist mutex once. So that last em28xx_add_into_devlist() reference is obsolete.

Cheers,
Chris

Could you please provide me a patch for it? I'll merge with your original one when submitting it upstream.

Here you go. Did you also pick up the other merge fix and the (separate) memory leak fix, please?

Cheers,
Chris

I think I see what's happened here. An extra reference to em28xx_add_into_devlist() has been added to em28xx_init_dev() at line 2888. This reference can be deleted because em28xx_init_extension() has been modified to add the struct em28xx to the devlist and then pass it to each extension's init() function all as a single operation.

Cheers,
Chris
