Hi,
In the recent 2.2.x I discovered that saa7xxx driver expects norm
to be an int, while struct video_channel defines it as __u16.
This bombs if video_channel has something dirty next to it
on the stack.
Only one file is touched by the patch: drivers/char/buz.c, but
some more code is related. The unofficial patch for capture on
Netwinder (drivers/char/video-cyberpro.c) is broken. The bttv.c
is not affected (it has on-chip decoder instead of saa7xxx).
Pauline's Zoran patch is not affected (is uses int).
I am expiriencing difficulties identifying the maintainer of the code.
Alan, would you look at it please?
Greetings,
--Pete
