Subject: Please review patchlet for ov511 (2.4.2-ac19)
Date: Thu, 22 Mar 2001 23:21:14 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20010322232114.B14771@devserv.devel.redhat.com> (raw)

Here is the deal:

we have a guy here with a webcam and the following scenario:
1. ov511 disconnects, everything dies/releases/closes fine,
2. webcam soft starts polling open/sleep/open/sleep/...
3. ov511_probe works and reaches ov511_configure,
   calls video_register_device().
4. Webcam software opens and oopses on the semafore
   that was not initialized yet.

I think video_register_device needs to be done last, when
everything else is ready to accept appliction requests.

Someone please review. The error handling style
of ov511 spins my head. I may be missing a code path somewhere.

Thanks in advance,
-- Pete
