Subject: Re: [PATCHv5] [media] saa7164: use an MSI interrupt when available
Hi Kyle,
Great to hear you haven't had any problems since applying this patch!
I'm looking forward to seeing it in the Linux master branch too.
Version 5 of the patch has been accepted and committed to the media tree
by Mauro:
http://git.linuxtv.org/cgit.cgi/media_tree.git/commit/?id=77978089ddc90347644cc057e6b6cd169ac9abd4
I'm guessing it will therefore go in to the main Linux tree with the
release of kernel version v4.2? (or it can be submitted as a fix for
v4.1 - but I have no idea how a patch is selected on that criteria).
Hopefully someone can confirm or elaborate.
Regards,
Brendan McGrath
