now that v4l-dvb-makomk will not work on 2.6.24
will anything be done about merging em28xx support into the mainline? it has been quite a while since markus picked up his ball and went off to play elsewhere
is it really that hard to merge?
regards

Hi,
I think the broad answer is no, it's probably not particularly hard to merge, at least not from a technical point of view. It's relatively short, and most of the changes required to stuff like the zl10353 driver are already there because of other xc3028-based cards that need them. I assume the main issue is that no-one wants to do it.
(Also, I finally got around to backporting the changes required to make v4l-dvb-makomk work on 2.6.24 - I was hoping it'd be obsolete by now, but I'm guessing not. It wasn't as bad as I was expecting, but it's only going to get worse, since the code in there is still just as outdated.)

There's overall alot to do and that's a reason why I'm not even trying to push a merge at this time. Documentation and the mailinglist is available on mcentral.de it will give a deep insight about what's going on at the moment.
