I wrote long ago the driver(s) and people that reviewed it thought it was better to keep it outside. I think that if someone else is going to need ks0108, then I agree: we should write a independent driver. It should not be hard, it is an easy controller to play with and the code is already there. I would try to do it; however, I am not sure if I would be the most appropriate person to code such generic driver, as I know almost nothing about all drivers/video/* stuff and the ways of making it truly generic for future video/ users. Still, I will help gladly. > > Thanks, > jaya > -- > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kerne= l" in > the body of a message to majordomo-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org > More majordomo info at =A0http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html > Please read the FAQ at =A0http://www.tux.org/lkml/ > -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
