From 8fd0444817e557568d8bddd77828d9ae0d606e04 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mike Isely Date: Sat, 15 May 2010 00:13:35 -0300 Subject: V4L/DVB: pvrusb2: New feature to mark specific hardware support as experimental This adds a flag in the device attribute structure which can be used to mark support for a particular device as experimental. Any devices flagged in this way, when encountered at run-time, will generate a warning message to the kernel log.
