Okay. I just wanted to prevent too much traffic.
But I'll use git-send-email, if you prefer.

Why so ?

Of course. I wasn't aware of the separate linux-media maillist at that
time.

By the way: I've now moved to Phillip's recent ipuv3 patches, but still
have lots of others (about 30) for my tqma53-based board, which might
be generic enough for going into mainline someday (many of them by
ptx folks).

Should I post them to lkml or somewhere else ?
