bttv driver broken in 2.5.4-pre

[Udo A. Steinberg]

Hi Gerd,

The latest changes in the 2.5.4 prepatches throw linker errors which seem to be caused by
bttv-driver.c using obsolete functions:

drivers/media/media.o: In function `make_vbitab':
drivers/media/media.o(.text+0x77ff): undefined reference to `virt_to_bus_not_defined_use_pci_map'
drivers/media/media.o(.text+0x7806): undefined reference to `virt_to_bus_not_defined_use_pci_map'
drivers/media/media.o(.text+0x78a2): undefined reference to `virt_to_bus_not_defined_use_pci_map'
drivers/media/media.o(.text+0x78cc): undefined reference to `virt_to_bus_not_defined_use_pci_map'
drivers/media/media.o(.text+0x7952): undefined reference to `virt_to_bus_not_defined_use_pci_map'
drivers/media/media.o(.text+0x797c): more undefined references to `virt_to_bus_not_defined_use_pci_map' follow

Do you have a patch for this problem?

Regards,
Udo.

I'm not going to fix bttv 0.7.x (that's the version which is in both
2.4.x and 2.5.x).  The redesigned bttv 0.8.x versions work (they never
used virt_to_bus).  You can fetch them from http://bytesex.org/bttv/

bttv 0.8.x depends on some other patches, thus it probably needs some
time before it will show up in 2.5.x.  Expect bttv being broken for a
few releases in 2.5.x kernels.
