    [PATCH] Big zoran driver update · 4f11c88c
    Ronald Bultje authored
    This is a patch for the video4linux unified zoran driver that has been
    in the kernel since 2.4.5 or so.
    
    It fixes the compile issues in the current 2.6.0-test3 unified zoran
    driver (current one doesn't compile at all), and also updates its
    version to what we have in CVS.  This adds support for new cards (e.g.
    LML33R10 from LinuxMediaLabs and DC30+ from Pinnacle), fixes bugs in
    cards that were already supported and generally improves capture
    reliability.  Changes per file (in detail) are given below. 
    
    i2c-id.h:
      add some new IDs for new i2c drivers
    
    pci_ids.h:
      add PCI IDs for each of the supported cards if it has any
    
    saa7111.c, saa7110.c, adv7175.c, bt819.c, saa7185.c, bt856.c:
      update to whatever we've got in our CVS. For most, these are just
      "easiness" fixes that either add some better debug output, or that make
      maintainance for both 2.6.x and 2.4.x simpler for me. There's also some
      specific changes. E.g., in saa7110.c, we enable the VCR mode bits so we
      get a better image from VCR input. In all of them, we make debugging an
      insmod option rather than a compile-time option (this makes debugging
      for users a *lot* easier). Point is that I just want our latest CVS in
      here. Maintainance is going to be a personal horror-story if it's not.
    
    vpx3220.c, saa7114.c, adv7170.c:
      new i2c ones (for respectively DC10/DC30, LML33R10 and again LML33R10)
    
    zr36067.c:
      removed, the driver is now spread over multiple source files.
    
    zoran*.[ch], zr36057.h
      spread-out source files. Also fixes lots of bugs, can't even start
      naming them all, you don't want that, neither do I. Just assume that it
      works better than it used to - it does.
    
      Nice things that aren't in the old driver: much more stable, supports
      DC30+, supports LML33R10, has proper locking/semaphores, supports
      multiple opens without races now, adapted to new i2c subsystem, v4l2
      support, Xv (hardware-scaled) overlay support, and a lot more.
    
      Oh, and this one actually compiles.
    
    videocodec.[ch], zr360{16,50,60}.[ch]:
      new sublayer for the driver to unify how we handle the zr36060 chip
      (DC10(+)/LML33/LML33R10/Buz) and the zr36050/zr36016 (DC30(+)).
    
    MAINTAINERS:
      add me as maintainer (I am).
    
    Kconfig:
      add new cards, plus improve the descriptions.
    
    Makefile:
      d'oh.
    
    Zoran:
      documentation update.
    
    Others:
      I don't think there are any.
    
    Greg has gone over the i2c changes a long time ago, he agreed on all of
    them. Gerd is supposed to take care of the v4l part, he has never
    complained about any of them. Stability is good, we've fixed most issues
    (there's still some out there, but nothing serious), lots better than in
    the old driver. Also, the cards work much better than with the old
    driver.
