[PATCH 0/3] Deprecate drivers

[PATCH 0/3] Deprecate drivers

[Hans Verkuil]

This patch series deprecates the vino/saa7191 video driver (ancient SGI Indy
computer), the parallel port webcams bw-qcam, c-qcam and w9966, the ISA
video capture driver pms and the USB video capture tlg2300 driver.

Hardware for these devices is next to impossible to obtain, these drivers
haven't seen any development in ages, they often use deprecated APIs and
without hardware that's very difficult to port. And cheap alternative
products are easily available today.

So move these drivers to staging for 3.19 and plan on removing them in 3.20.

Regards,

	Hans

[PATCH 1/3] vino/saa7191: move to staging in preparation for removal

[Hans Verkuil]

From: Hans Verkuil <hans.verkuil@cisco.com>

These drivers haven't been tested in a long, long time. The hardware is
ancient and hopelessly obsolete. These drivers also need to be converted
to newer media frameworks but due to the lack of hardware that's going
to be impossible.

So these drivers are a prime candidate for removal. If someone is
interested in working on these drivers to prevent their removal, then
please contact the linux-media mailinglist.

[PATCH 2/3] tlg2300: move to staging in preparation for removal

[Hans Verkuil]

From: Hans Verkuil <hans.verkuil@cisco.com>

This driver hasn't been tested in a long, long time. The company that made
this chip has gone bust many years ago and hardware using this chip is next
to impossible to find.

This driver needs to be converted to newer media frameworks but due to the
lack of hardware that's going to be impossible. Since cheap alternatives are
easily available, there is little point in keeping this driver alive.

In other words, this driver is a prime candidate for removal. If someone is
interested in working on this driver to prevent its removal, then please
contact the linux-media mailinglist.

Let's be honest, the age of parallel port webcams and ISA video capture

Just bought a QuickCam Pro parallel and some unknown parallel port webcam.

OK, so there is some confusion here. You aren't offering to work on any of
the deprecated drivers, are you?

I'm sure you meant this email as a joke, but before the drivers are deprecated
it is good to get that confirmed.

(Sorry for the delay, I somehow missed this e-mail.)

I'll try to fix c-qcam driver (I suppose that it should work with QuickCam 
Pro). The webcams are still on the way so I don't know what's inside the 
unknown one.

I'm pretty sure the QuickCam Pro won't work with the c-qcam driver, but I'll
postpone moving these drivers to staging for the moment.

The cameras arrived and you were right: QuickCam Pro really does not work with 
c-qcam driver. The protocol is probably completely different. The camera 
supports PnP (Windows detects it and it's visible in Device Manager).
According to some web pages, the protocol should be similar to QuickCam VC 
(available with parallel or USB port). There is a qcamvc out-of-tree driver 
for that (even updated last year) but support for QuickCam Pro is missing. 
Maybe it wouldn't be hard to add it.

The other camera is marked "Rookey Z" and is probably the same as "Todai 
TDC-01". It works in Windows 98 with wcah204e.exe software (probably 16-bit). 
There's no PnP support (Windows does not detect any device). Almost all chips 
inside are made by NEC, the biggest one is marked "CAME3". This one probably 
never worked with Linux.
