Ouch, that's really old code you're using.

The latest version is here:

http://git.linuxtv.org/hverkuil/media_tree.git/log/?h=requests

But that too won't be the final version.

There is still work going on in this area (specifically by Laurent Pinchart)
since we really need this functionality. But we need to make sure that the
API is good enough to handle complex hardware before it can be upstreamed.

I suspect that once Laurent has it working for his non-trivial use-case we
can start looking at upstreaming it.

I recommend rebasing to at least the version in my git tree as that will
be much closer to the final version. I'll try to rebase that branch to
the latest kernel, but that's a bit difficult and takes more time than I
have at the moment.
