Hi *,
I saw an announcement for the following patch:
https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-media/msg224909.html
Does this mean, all of my saa7146-based DVB cards will stop working after the according openSUSE kernel will be released? Or will anyone at SUSE port the deprecated frontend to newer kernels?
Sry, if the question sounds silly, but I'm not familiar with the handling of such things regarding kernel or kernel drivers.
If that patch is accepted, which is not a sure thing,
FWIW, I assume it's that patch which is in 6.1 already. So TW already dropped the drivers.
Not on my system (kernel 6.1.4, TW 20230114):
$ cd /usr/src/linux/drivers/staging/media/deprecated/ $ ls cpia2 fsl-viu meye saa7146 stkwebcam tm6000 vpfe_capture zr364xx
Well, and are they built?
No, but they could be built, if the config would allow that, I assume. Btw. the linux-media developers seem to have dropped the patch due to lots of protest. See my other mail. Bye. Michael.
