From b879a9c2a755d4ddf9e685258de6435710fd2f03 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrey Smirnov Date: Thu, 18 Apr 2013 20:46:08 -0300 Subject: [media] v4l2: Add a V4L2 driver for SI476X MFD This commit adds a driver that exposes all the radio related functionality of the Si476x series of chips via the V4L2 subsystem.
