Yes, but it was added on the previous patch that moved the master driver
(av7110):

	https://lore.kernel.org/linux-media/4e7136434c68eabcdb66d25f44946ab794f4af0b.1622476959.git.mchehab+huawei@kernel.org/T/#u

The TODO is just saying:

	This driver is too old and relies on a different API.
	Drop it from Kernel on a couple of versions.

(there was a typo there, I'll fix at the next version)

Thanks,
Mauro
