Hi Mauro,
Today's linux-next merge of the v4l-dvb tree got a trivial conflict in
drivers/media/video/videodev.c between commit
7fa8e6fa1519194fc0c931f40d530fb55137bad9 ("V4L/DVB (8092): videodev:
simplify and fix standard enumeration") from Linus' tree (which is also
in the v4l-dvb tree) and commit 561216cf5e422669b4f9e54a6157d731245feecc
("V4L/DVB (8103): videodev: fix/improve ioctl debugging") from the
v4l-dvb tree.
Again, I fixed it up and will carry it.Thanks. I'll rebase my tree.
But also my comments about a bug fix branch/tree apply here also.
Hmm... I have here two branches, one with bug fixes only and another with bug fixes + improvements. The last one is exported into my linux-next tree. Having just improvements on it seems a good idea, except that, sometimes, an improvement requires first that some bug fix patch to be applied first. Anyway, I'm seeking for some time to change my upstream procedures to get rid of those issues. Cheers, Mauro
