From b287db119edb92548b53f63f05fd593c43cba200 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hans Verkuil Date: Sat, 5 Feb 2011 09:25:02 -0300 Subject: [media] se401: remove last V4L1 driver This driver is for obsolete hardware that the old maintainer didn't care (or not have the hardware anymore), and that no other developer could find any hardware to buy. The V4L1 API is no longer supported, and since nobody stepped in to convert them to V4L2 the decision was made to remove them.

Those drivers are for obsolete hardware that the old maintainer - didn't care (or not have the hardware anymore), and that no other developer - could find any hardware to buy. They probably have no practical usage today, - and people with such old hardware could probably keep using an older version - of the kernel. Those drivers will be moved to staging on 2.6.38 and, if nobody - cares enough to port and test them with V4L2 API, they'll be removed on 2.6.39. -Who: Mauro Carvalho Chehab - ---------------------------- - What: Video4Linux: Remove obsolete ioctl's When: kernel 2.6.39 Files: include/media/videodev2.h -- cgit v1.2.3 From 7ee40aadabd59b6cab60835f0ef9cdbe385df438 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hans Verkuil Date: Sat, 5 Feb 2011 10:10:38 -0300 Subject: [media] v4l: removal of old, obsolete ioctls Some ioctl's were defined wrong on 2.6.2 and 2.6.6, using the wrong type of R/W arguments. They were fixed, but the old ioctl names are still there, maintained to avoid breaking binary compatibility: There's no sense on preserving those forever, as it is very doubtful that someone would try to use a such old binary with a modern kernel. Removing them will allow us to remove some magic done at the V4L ioctl handler. Note that any application compiled with a videodev2.h from 2.6.7 or later will be using the correct ioctls.
