The omap24xx driver and the tcm825x sensor driver are the only two remaining drivers to still use the old deprecated v4l2-int-device API. Nobody maintains these drivers anymore. But unfortunately the v4l2-int-device API is used by out-of-tree drivers (MXC platform). This is a very bad situation since as long as this deprecated API stays in the kernel there is no reason for those out-of-tree drivers to convert. This patch moves v4l2-int-device and the two drivers that depend on it to staging in preparation for their removal. If someone would be interested in getting these drivers to work, then start with this since it's not very far from the state where they used to work: <URL:http://vihersipuli.retiisi.org.uk/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=~sailus/linux-omap/.git;a=summary> The branch is n800-cam. Porting to up-to-date APIs can then be done. David might have done some work in that area, so check with him first.

This is a v4l2 driver for the TI OMAP2 camera capture interface
|
|
|
|
It uses the deprecated int-device API. Since this driver is no
|
|
longer actively maintained and nobody is interested in converting
|
|
it to the subdev API, this driver will be removed soon.
|
|
|
|
If you do want to keep this driver in the kernel, and are willing
|
|
to convert it to the subdev API, then please contact the linux-media
