A new pvrusb2 driver snapshot is available. This snapshot doesn't
contain anything fantastically new; mainly these are housekeeping
changes to re-sync with the in-kernel version of the driver:
(+) IR interface updates to remain compatible with surrounding
environment.
(+) Code added to support videodev_ioctl2(), however it is
deactivated for the moment until further testing can be done.
(+) g/s_ tuner support fix needed to remain compatible with
surrounding environment.
(+) Minor allocation failure check added by a kernel janitor.
(+) Remove old, dead, useless module/driver version info which dated
back to the earliest days of this driver.
(+) Return ENOTTY instead of EINVAL if an unsupported ioctl() is
requested in the V4L2 API.
(+) Implement VIDIOC_QUERYSTD
(+) Various other miscellaneous tweaks to be compatible with recent
kernel versions.
I have done *very little* testing on this driver snapshot. However
since all I did was merge stuff from the in-kernel version of the
driver, the risk for breakage should be extremely low. I did verify
successful compilation with kernel 3.1.9, and it should also compile
against 3.2.1 but I don't have a sandbox set up for that version yet.
Now with the resync out of the way, I plan to chase down some of the
recently raised driver issues.
