Subject: RE: New Driver for DaVinci DM355/DM365/DM6446

Sergio,

Is it part of the patches Vaibhav & others from TI are submitting to open source ? I know that there is an ongoing effort at TI India to submit the resizer driver to open source for OMAP3? As per the email exchanges I had with Vaibhav (TI India) on this, it is part of the ISP module. We plan to submit the patches to open source for H3A and was trying to see which is the right way to do it. We will investigate the tree you mentioned below and let you know if we have additional questions. The plan is to align with OMAP3 for the implementation.

regards,

Murali Karicheri
