As you are a driver, you should never need to call any pr_* calls,
instead use dev_*(). For this, you can use dev_dbg(), but really, why
is that even needed except for your debugging bringup. And for that,
you can use ftrace, right? So no need for any printing of anything
here.

Again, dev_err() would be proper, but there's no need for any error
message here.


Don't you need to register the tuner ops with something in this
function?

Don't you need to unregister the tuner ops in here?

Actually, this is a dummy driver. It should not be auto-selected, as no
real hardware depends on it. We don't want production distros to come with
those test drivers.

When we add a bridge driver (let's say we call it DVB_DUMMY_BRIDGE), then
what we could do here would be something like:

depends on DVB_DUMMY_BRIDGE
default y

Cheers,
Mauro

Please add more detail here on what this driver does. What this
driver is used for and so on.

Samehere. Give more details on what this driver does. Add enough detail
to help users decide why they should enable it or not.

Looks like there is more code to be added to register/unregister

Let's take these out in v2 then.

It is my understanding that bridge drivers are the ones responsible for
this. For instance, I don't see this with either xc4000.c, xc5000.c or
mt2060.c. I could be wrong, though. Maybe Mauro could clarify this?

What I did miss in this patch was an attach function. Let's also add
this in v2.


Thanks again,

- Daniel.

I planned on adding more commits to this series in v2, v3 and so forth
so they would be applied in order, since they would be touching the same
file. Likewise, the changes could be reviewed in a piecemeal fashion
making it easier for reviewers. Is this not advisable?

Anyway, thanks for the heads up.

Let's address this in v2.


Thanks.

No need for a patch 0/1. If you want to send just one patch, just sent it
directly as:

[PATCH] foo

Hi Shuah, thank you for you input!

Just to be clear, attach() is missing, but register / unregister belong
in the bridge driver. Is this correct?

OK.

Right attach/detach is what I was thinking.
