[Linux-kernel-mentees] We should settle on a name for the new DVB virtual driver.

[Daniel W. S. Almeida]

It has come to my attention that this patch  - 
https://patchwork.linuxtv.org/patch/62494/  - has reorganized a few 
directories in the media tree, pushing test drivers into their own 
directory.


In an effort to reduce the amount of renaming down the line, and also to 
adapt to the new structure presented above I think it is a good time to 
come up with a name for the DVB virtual driver. It might also be a good 
idea to move it to its own directory as well while we're at it.

My personal preference is vidvb, which is somewhat in line with the 
naming scheme used by other virtual drivers for the media subsystem.

Please chime in.

Thanks.

- Daniel.

True. Please notice that this was not applied yet. It may suffer some
changes, but yeah, it makes sense to have a separate directory for
test drivers.

Yes, agreed.

"vidvb" works for me, but maybe "vidtv" would even be better.
