That's not on my todo-list for now, -EBUSY :-) I bump the uvcvideo driver version whenever the userspace API changes. Using the kernel version number applications could find out whether the API they need is implemented, but detecting API changes would become more difficult. That might not be a real issue though, as applications usually don't care. -- Regards, Laurent Pinchart -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
