Hi Andi,

at least patches 1 and 2 conflict with recent extensions. See commits
ddbf7d5a698c "rc: core: add managed versions of rc_allocate_device and
rc_register_device" and b6f3ece38733 "[media] rc: nuvoton: use managed
versions of rc_allocate_device and rc_register_device".

It would be good if you could rebase your patch set on top of the
latest master branch of media tree. Most likely you will have to make
changes to the recently introduced managed versions of
rc_allocate_device and rc_register_device.

Rgds, Heiner
