[linux-dvb] Re: Rename budget drivers?



Hi,

Should we sort out the name of the budget drivers once and for all?

I would suggest:

"budget-av" -> "dvb-cinergypci-budget"
"budget" -> "dvb-ttpci-budget"
"budget-ci" -> "dvb-ttpci-budget-ci"
"budget-patch" -> "dvb-ttpci-budget-patch"
It's the question if we want to have a subsystem prefix (ie. dvb) in the driver name or not. Some parts have this (alsa), some have a suffix (fb drivers, ie. matroxfb), some have none (lm87, sensors/i2c drivers in general). Another question is, if we want to have the bus system mentioned or not (ie. pci or usb).

From my personal point of view, we should either
- have it all or (ie. dvb-ttpci-budget-ci)
- have none of it.

The latter would probably mean to rename "dvb-ttpci" to "av7110" and other similar changes to the driver names.

Is it good to have long names or not? Does this really matter in times of pci and usb system ids?

I don't really know. 8-(
