Hi Andrew.

Alternate version of the PMS patch sent yesterday. This one makes it 
need explicit enabling when builtin and doesn't change anything when 
modular as per Alan Cox's comments.

This is a deprecated, unused driver meaning it doesn't matter. It still 
fixes that (randconfig testing breakage) which it is supposed to fix.

Rene.

Subject: [PATCH] V4L1: make PMS not autoprobe when builtin.

The old Mediavision Pro Movie Studio legacy ISA V4L1 driver was
found to hang the boot during Ingo Molnar's testing of randconfig
kernels. Have it require a "pms.enable=1" kernel parameter to
enable the driver when builtin which avoids such problems.

This is a deprecated and, very likely, unused driver. Nothing
changes modular moreover.
