Subject: media/common/tuner selection when using a webcam and i2c
Date: Thu, 30 Oct 2008 19:58:19 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <490A11DB.3060703@gmail.com> (raw)
Dear All,
I've been trying to track down why when I enable i2c (for some embedded
sensors)
and the options required to get a v4l gspca camera I end up with a lot
of unnecessary tuner modues.
It looks to me like some false assumptions are being made within the Kconfig
files.
VIDEO_MEDIA gets enabled as VIDEO_DEV is and DVB_CORE is not.
(in media/Kconfig)
and i2c is enabled because I'm using it for numerous other things.
Thus, the
config MEDIA_TUNER
tristate
defaults VIDEO_MEDIA && I2C
depends on VIDEO_MEDIA && I2C
select MEDIA_TUNER_XC2028 if !MEDIA_TUNER_CUSTOMIZE
enables a lot of tuner drivers.
Now once I'd figured out what was happening it is clear these
can be disabled by using menuconfig MEDIA_TUNER_CUSTOMIZE.
However, to me the fact I needed to do this suggests some false assumptions
in the media Kconfig files, given I never specified anything that would
ever actually have a tuner.
