The button is available as a standard input device +Who: Hans de Goede + +---------------------------- + +What: Driver specific use of pixfmt.priv in the pwc driver +When: 3.3 +Why: The .priv field never was intended for this, setting a framerate is + support using the standardized S_PARM ioctl +Who: Hans de Goede + +---------------------------- + +What: Software emulation of arbritary resolutions in the pwc driver +When: 3.3 +Why: The pwc driver claims to support any resolution between 160x120 + and 640x480, but emulates this by simply drawing a black border + around the image. Userspace can draw its own black border if it + really wants one. +Who: Hans de Goede + +---------------------------- + +What: For VIDIOC_S_FREQUENCY the type field must match the device node's type. + If not, return -EINVAL. +When: 3.2 +Why: It makes no sense to switch the tuner to radio mode by calling + VIDIOC_S_FREQUENCY on a video node, or to switch the tuner to tv mode by + calling VIDIOC_S_FREQUENCY on a radio node. This is the first step of a + move to more consistent handling of tv and radio tuners. +Who: Hans Verkuil + +---------------------------- + +What: Opening a radio device node will no longer automatically switch the + tuner mode from tv to radio. +When: 3.3 +Why: Just opening a V4L device should not change the state of the hardware + like that. It's very unexpected and against the V4L spec. Instead, you + switch to radio mode by calling VIDIOC_S_FREQUENCY. This is the second + and last step of the move to consistent handling of tv and radio tuners. +Who: Hans Verkuil + +---------------------------- + +What: g_file_storage driver +When: 3.8 +Why: This driver has been superseded by g_mass_storage. +Who: Alan Stern + +---------------------------- ++ + What: threeg and interface sysfs files in /sys/devices/platform/acer-wmi + When: 2012 + Why: In 2.6.40, we can now autodetect internal 3G device and already have + the threeg rfkill device. So, we plan to remove threeg sysfs support + for it's no longer necessary. + + We also plan to remove interface sysfs file that exposed which ACPI-WMI + interface that was used by acer-wmi driver. It will replaced by + information log when acer-wmi initial. + Who: Lee, Chun-Yi + + ----------------------------
