Subject: [PATCH] staging/media: add missing TODO files
Date: Thu, 3 Mar 2016 12:24:40 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <56D81EF8.8050306@xs4all.nl> (raw)

Add TODO files for mx2/mx3/omap1 to explain the status of these drivers
and what needs to be done in order to keep them from being removed soon.

Also a small fix for the mx2/Kconfig that mistakingly mentioned a vb2
conversion. That's not needed for that driver.
