From 7b31b57a37ab694b9693a0359bf8ed0967188533 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hans Verkuil Date: Mon, 13 Oct 2008 07:38:03 -0300 Subject: V4L/DVB (9209): v4l2: add comment to the v4l2-i2c-drv headers. Looking at these headers as they appear in the kernel makes you wonder why it is done that way. Refer to the v4l-dvb repository where the full unstripped header can be found to understand the reasoning behind this.
