[media] bq/c-qcam, w9966, pms: move to staging in preparation for removal

2014-12-17T01:21:44+00:00

These drivers haven't been tested in a long, long time. The hardware is ancient and hopelessly obsolete. These drivers also need to be converted to newer media frameworks but due to the lack of hardware that's going to be impossible. In addition, cheaper and vastly better hardware is available today. So these drivers are a prime candidate for removal. If someone is interested in working on these drivers to prevent their removal, then please contact the linux-media mailinglist. Let's be honest, the age of parallel port webcams and ISA video capture boards is really gone. Signed-off-by: Hans Verkuil Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab

[media] pms: Fix a bad usage of the stack

2014-09-26T09:47:55+00:00

As warned by smatch: drivers/media/parport/pms.c:632:21: warning: Variable length array is used. The pms driver is doing something really bad: it is using the stack to read data into a buffer whose size is given by the user by the read() syscall. Replace it by a dynamically allocated buffer.

[media] media: remove the setting of the flag V4L2_FL_USE_FH_PRIO

2014-07-04T19:14:59+00:00

Since all the drivers that use `struct v4l2_fh' use the core priority checking, the setting of the flag in the drivers can be removed. Signed-off-by: Ramakrishnan Muthukrishnan Reviewed-by: Hans Verkuil Signed-off-by: Hans Verkuil Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab

[media] v4l2: pass std by value to the write-only s_std ioctl

2013-03-24T09:47:00+00:00

This ioctl is defined as IOW, so pass the argument by value instead of by reference. I could have chosen to add const instead, but this is 1) easier to handle in drivers and 2) consistent with the s_std subdev operation.

[media] move parallel port/isa video drivers to drivers/media/parport/

2012-08-15T19:41:37+00:00

We should keep just the I2C drivers under drivers/media/video, and then rename it to drivers/media/i2c. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab
