Hi.


Well, that was exactly what the code needed, yet another eyes.


I don't think he ever knows about this version of the driver. I got his GPL
driver, cleaned up -- coding style, v4l1 and v4l2 ioctl conversion to v4l2
functions, some bug fixes and so on... If you still want him to sign this
of, I'll try my best to catch him but can't guarantee any results.


Hmm, no, I would rather get rid of CONFIG_ thing, it may make things
unclear, beacuse there is (will be) no option in Kconfig for this, because
this is the most verbose option for the driver mainly used for algorithms
debugging. Standard DEBUG (pr_debug, dev_dbg) is intended to be a real debug
print here.

It will be always defined due to few lines above it.



Ok, there is a debate about this, I will do the changes after some decision
will be made.

Jiri, are you allowed to include that microcode, did you get any
information about this from the manufacturer which could allow the
inclusion?
The sequences are rather small not putting it into extra firmware
files would make life much easier for some users, on the other side if
it raises legal issues Mauro's right with loading it from a file
</cite>

This seems to be a reverse engineered driver, I think, all those values are
intercepted, so there are no licensing issues.


There is a problem with this approach. There are reads every 3-5 writes and
this can grow into many small tables.


I don't like many files for one driver and finding little pieces of code
in each file separately -- 1125 + 1235 will be small pieces. Not considering
the static functions and warning about unused code. But it's up to you, it's
your subtree, make a decision.


What's the name, I can't find it?

The rest of comments has been applied, thanks,
