Re: [PATCH v11 0/7] [media] Add analog mode support for Medion MD95700

[Hans Verkuil]

Hi Maciej,

I reviewed v11 and I had only two comments in two sources. Can you fix that
and post a v12?

Mike, once v12 is posted, can you try and test it on your hardware?

The goal is to get this merged for 5.3.

Maciej, just FYI: I won't merge the last patch. It's OK to post it, that
way it is archived if anyone is ever interested in this in the future, but
it's not something that we want to merge. It adds a new public API to enable
this, and that's not something we'd like to do unless there is a really
good reason. And adding a debug feature for old hardware isn't enough of a
reason. Sorry.

Regards,

	Hans
