Subject: Re: [RFC PATCH v1] media: uvcvideo: Cache URB header data before
processing
Hi Keiichi,
I just wanted to reply here quickly to say this is a really interesting
development.
I would like to review and test it properly; however I am now on holiday
until at least the 9th July and so I won't be able to look until after
that date.
I didn't want you to be left hanging though :-)
Ping me if you haven't heard anything by the 20th or so. Of course if
anyone else gets round to testing and reviewing then that's great too.
Regards
