Re: [PATCH 0/7] rust: add initial v4l2 support

[Frederic Laing]

Hi all,

I’m new to contributing to the kernel and was reading through this 
thread. I would like to ask about the current status of this patch set. 
Is anyone still actively working on it?

If it’s unmaintained at the moment, I’d be happy to take over and work 
on addressing the review comments and resubmitting an updated version.

In case you're wondering why I am interested; I am currently working on 
camera software that utilizes the Microsoft Kinect 360 and V2 camera 
variants. Luckily there is already `drivers/media/usb/gspca/kinect.c` 
but it has some errors (like reporting invalid frame rates for color 
data) and design flaws that makes it impossible to stream depth and 
color data from a single device at the same time. I already got a new 
user space driver working in rust and would like to upstream it to the 
kernel to replace the older kinect driver written in C.

Thanks for your time,
Frederic Laing
