Mauro,
This new patch fixed the problem. CX23885 functionality is restored! :-)
side note: If we had left a single header, video-buf.h, we could have
avoided this problem. When we rename files like this, we run the risk
of building against the wrong headers, if errors are not caught &
corrected quickly enough.
Are you open to merging the videobuf-*.h into a single video-buf.h
header file, to match the filename in previous kernel versions so that
we can avoid this issue from recurring? Either that, or including the
current headers into a new video-buf.h would do the same job.
What do you think?
-Mike
