Subject: Re: [PATCH] media: pwc: Fix the URB buffer allocation

Hi Takashi,

Thank you for this patch, but it clashes with another patch trying to do the same thing
that has already been merged in our tree:

https://patchwork.linuxtv.org/project/linux-media/patch/20210104170007.20625-1-matwey@sai.msu.ru/

I do prefer your patch over the one already merged since it is a bit simpler, but
shouldn't the calls to dma_sync_single_for_cpu() and dma_sync_single_for_device()
in pwc-if.c also use urb->dev->bus->controller?

Also, Matwey's patch uses urb->dev->bus->sysdev instead of urb->dev->bus->controller.
How does 'sysdev' relate to 'controller'? I think 'controller' is the right device to
use, but either seems to work when I test it with my pwc webcam.

Andrew, your patch:

https://patchwork.linuxtv.org/project/linux-media/patch/20210204232851.1020416-1-andrew@lunn.ch/

is effectively identical to Takashi's, so I'll mark your patch as Obsoleted.
Just so you know :-)

Regards,

	Hans
