Fair enough.


em28xx_reg_len() is a somewhat dirty hack for vidioc_[g,s]_register
debugging ioctls only.

I didn't realize that. In that case, it doesn't make sense to propagate the change to non-debug code. This patch can be dropped. I thought em28xx_reg_len() is good example of finding register length for these registers.

Btw, what happens when you try to compile the code with this patch
applied and CONFIG_VIDEO_ADV_DEBUG disabled ? ;-)

CONFIG_VIDEO_ADV_DEBUG is disabled in my config.
