Ah, that's not under the kernel's control, but as you point out, it's a udev issue. > I believe assigning the permission and "video" group to /dev/vchiq is > handled by udev, in the downstream pi OS, as seen in this line in > /lib/udev/rules.d/10-local-rpi.rules file: > > SUBSYSTEM=="vchiq", GROUP="video", MODE="0660" > > I'm not completely sure how the SUBSYSTEM part is passed to udev from > the kernel modules, however seems like the miscdevice is not notifying > udev correctly (?). No, the SUBSYSTEM for this device has changed from "vchiq" to "misc". Having a whole subsystem for just one character device is crazy, which is why I did the kernel change. Try changing the line in the udev file to: NAME=="vchiq", GROUP="video", MODE="0660" (SUBSYSTEM changes to NAME) and see if that works both on the newer kernel, and on the older ones as well. thanks, greg k-h _______________________________________________ linux-arm-kernel mailing list linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-arm-kernel
