I can't remember > asking for it. I am afraid that I missed updating atmel_mxt_ts from V4L2_BUF_TYPE_VIDEO_CAPTURE to V4L2_BUF_TYPE_TOUCH_CAPTURE, which has confused the situation. Perhaps I read too much into your request that I look at the way that SDR is treated. When I started going through the code paths in v4l2-core and v4l2-compliance, it seemed cleaner to treat touch as completely separate, hence introducing the new BUF_TYPE. I'm happy to try it without this. > And wouldn't the use of V4L2_BUF_TYPE_TOUCH_CAPTURE break userspace for sur40? I think it is likely, yes. And it looks like that would make Florian unhappy. > I'm ambiguous towards having a V4L2_BUF_TYPE_TOUCH_CAPTURE, to be honest. > > I would also recommend renaming V4L2_CAP_TOUCH to V4L2_CAP_TOUCH_CAPTURE. Do you agree with the following changes: - Rename V4L2_CAP_TOUCH to V4L2_CAP_TOUCH_CAPTURE. - Touch devices should register both V4L2_CAP_VIDEO_CAPTURE and V4L2_CAP_TOUCH_CAPTURE. - Get rid of V4L2_BUF_TYPE_TOUCH_CAPTURE and use V4L2_BUF_TYPE_VIDEO_CAPTURE. In v4l2-ioctl.c if we need to force particular pix formats for touch, it will need to look at V4L2_CAP_TOUCH_CAPTURE. Your other review comments look straightforward to address - thanks. I should say, you can see my current changes to v4l2-compliance here: https://github.com/ndyer/v4l-utils/commit/07e00c33 Should I post them along with the kernel patches next time? > > I can imagine an embedded usb gadget device that outputs touch data to a PC. > > Regards, > > Hans
