From ca37157506ef53dcf41132aaedab70659509ccee Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hans Verkuil Date: Mon, 3 Jun 2013 05:36:50 -0300 Subject: [media] v4l2: remove deprecated current_norm support completely The use of current_norm to keep track of the current standard has been deprecated for quite some time. Now that all drivers that were using it have been converted to use g_std we can drop it from the core. It was a bad idea to introduce this at the time: since it is a per-device node field it didn't work for drivers that create multiple nodes, all sharing the same tuner (e.g. video and vbi nodes, or a raw video node and a compressed video node). In addition it was very surprising behavior that g_std was implemented in the core. Often drivers implemented both g_std and current_norm, because they didn't understand how it should be used. Since the benefits were very limited (if they were there at all), it is better to just drop it and require that drivers just implement g_std.

A proper pointer to v4l2_dev is necessary these days otherwise the advanced debugging ioctls will not work when addressing sub-devices. It also ensures that the core can always go from a video_device struct to the top-level v4l2_device struct. There is still one single use case for the parent pointer: if there are multiple busses, each being the parent of one or more video nodes, and if they all share the same v4l2_device struct. In that case one still needs a parent pointer since the v4l2_device struct can only refer to a single parent device. The cx88 driver is one such case. Unfortunately, the cx88 failed to set the parent pointer since 3.6. The next patch will correct this. In order to support this use-case the parent pointer is only renamed to dev_parent, not removed altogether. It has been renamed to ensure that the compiler will catch any (possibly out-of-tree) drivers that were missed during the conversion.
