Old patches sent via the Mailing list

[Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@redhat.com>]

Hi,

I did a large effort during this weekend to handle the maximum amount of patches, in order to have them
ready for 2.6.37. While there are still some patches marked as NEW at patchwork, and a few pending pull
requests (mostly related to more kABI changes), there are still a list of patches that are marked as
Under review. Except for 4 patches from me, related to Doc (that I'm keeping in this list just to remind
me that I'll need to fix them when I have some time - just some automation stuff at DocBook), all other
patches marked as Under review are stuff that I basically depend on others.

The last time I sent this list, I was about to travel, and I may have missed some comments, or maybe I
may just forgot to update. But I suspect that, for the list bellow, most of them are stuff where the
driver maintainer just forgot at limbo.

>From the list of patches under review, we have:

Waiting for new patch, signed, from Sven Barth <pascaldragon@googlemail.com>
  Apr,25 2010: Problem with cx25840 and Terratec Grabster AV400                       http://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/94960   Sven Barth <pascaldragon@googlemail.com>

There are some patches where i want to have more tests/acks before applying:
  Aug, 7 2010: Avoid unnecessary data copying inside dvb_dmx_swfilter_204() function  http://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/118147  Marko Ristola <marko.ristola@kolumbus.fi>
  Mar, 1 2010: firedtv: add parameter to fake ca_system_ids in CA_INFO                http://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/82912   Henrik Kurelid <henrik@kurelid.se>
(I'm not sure about this one, Henrik's agument didn't convince me that we should add a workaround for MythTV)

I think that the better is to wait for videobuf2, instead of applying those patches:
  Mar,17 2010: [2/2] V4L/DVB: buf-dma-sg.c: support non-pageable user-allocated memor http://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/97263   Arnout Vandecappelle <arnout@mind.be>
  Jul,27 2010: videobuf_dma_sg: a new implementation for mmap                         http://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/114520  Figo.zhang <figo1802@gmail.com>
  Jul,28 2010: [v2] videobuf_dma_sg: a new implementation for mmap                    http://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/114760  Figo.zhang <figo1802@gmail.com>
  Jul,30 2010: [v2] Resend:videobuf_dma_sg: a new implementation for mmap             http://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/115348  Figo.zhang <figo1802@gmail.com>


Other than that, we have a pending list of older patches, submitted by someone, that I'm still
waiting for the maintainer to take care. If I don't have any return from the maintainer for
a patch older than, let's say, a month, is probably because it is safe for me to apply.
