[RFC PATCH v0] Add tw5864 driver

Wed Mar 9 14:29:24 UTC 2016

Hi Hans!

Some improvements took place on the driver, including cleaner
v4l2-compliance tests passing. But there's a single test failure I
don't understand.

In the code of v4l2-compliance, it seems like an API
call CREATE_BUFS is supposed to fail with EINVAL. But in case of my
driver, which simply uses vb2_ioctl_create_bufs(), the call returns 0.

Please review the below report.

The report is produced by fresh v4l-utils from git:
v4l-utils-1.10.0-59-g1388c0a

The actual code which was tested is at tag release/tw5864/1.10 of
https://github.com/bluecherrydvr/linux.git , see
drivers/staging/media/tw5864 . If we sort this out, I am considering
resubmit the driver for merging upstream.

There's also another issue with v4l2-compliance. At some moment the
driver receives S_PARM command with timeperframe 0/0, by which reason I
added special handling, but I guess there's something out of my
knowledge which caused this and which should be fixed.
