Subject: [Patch] 2.5.44 Stop bttv_driver.c from flooding /var/log/messages

Hi Alan

I have sent this patch to Gerd and I did not get any reply from him, so...
The bttv drivers are/were filling up my /var/log/messages file with the
following output

Oct 20 04:03:01 localhost kernel: bttv0: amux: mode=-1 audio=1 signal=no
mux=4/1 irq=yes
Oct 20 04:03:01 localhost kernel: bttv0: amux: mode=-1 audio=1 signal=yes
mux=1/1 irq=yes
Oct 20 04:03:08 localhost kernel: bttv0: amux: mode=-1 audio=1 signal=no
mux=4/1 irq=yes

(Which seems to repeat three times a second for three seconds and waits 7
second before printing the message again)

The following patch quites them down.

Thanx

I had sent a quite similar patch to Gerd and the v4l list (where I am
not subscribed) on Oct 6th. The only thing I got was the "maintainer
action required" reply from the list bot. As the archive is for
subsribers only I cannot say if it ever reached the list.

Alan please include this patch in -ac2.


To Suse-folks: what happend to gerd ? I had seen lots of questions
regarding v4l2 on this list but no answers.

I read lkml very briefly. Better use the video4linux list, that highly
increases the chance I see it.

PS: I have bttv updates in the queue anyway (also available from
http://bytesex.org/patches/2.5/). There are v4l2 patches too.
