122 | Check: drivers/staging/cpia/cpia.c drivers/staging/stradis/stradis.c | ||
123 | Why: There are some drivers still using V4L1 API, despite all efforts we've done | ||
124 | to migrate. Those drivers are for obsolete hardware that the old maintainer | ||
125 | didn't care (or not have the hardware anymore), and that no other developer | ||
126 | could find any hardware to buy. They probably have no practical usage today, | ||
127 | and people with such old hardware could probably keep using an older version | ||
128 | of the kernel. Those drivers will be moved to staging on 2.6.37 and, if nobody | ||
129 | care enough to port and test them with V4L2 API, they'll be removed on 2.6.38. | ||

477 | Files: drivers/media/video/saa5246a.c drivers/media/video/saa5249.c | ||
478 | include/linux/videotext.h | ||
479 | Why: The vtx device nodes have been superseded by vbi device nodes | ||
480 | for many years. No applications exist that use the vtx support. | ||
481 | Of the two i2c drivers that actually support this API the saa5249 | ||
482 | has been impossible to use for a year now and no known hardware | ||
483 | that supports this device exists. The saa5246a is theoretically | ||
484 | supported by the old mxb boards, but it never actually worked. | ||
485 | |||
486 | In summary: there is no hardware that can use this API and there | ||
487 | are no applications actually implementing this API. | ||
488 | |||
489 | The vtx support still reserves minors 192-223 and we would really | ||
490 | like to reuse those for upcoming new functionality. In the unlikely | ||
491 | event that new hardware appears that wants to use the functionality | ||
492 | provided by the vtx API, then that functionality should be build | ||
493 | around the sliced VBI API instead. | ||
