Bug#218438: linux-kernel-headers: Sanitize videodev2.h for userland.
tags 218438 + patch
thanks
Hi!
This patch makes linux/videodev2.h usable from userland again. It
mimicks the way the input layer (linux/input.h) handles the problem of
linux/time.h vs. sys/time.h. I've tested the patch by compiling libdv.
(Note that there is no library abstracting the video4linux kernel
interface, meaning that any v4l application has to refer to this header.
Therefore, I'd prefer to provide a userspace-clean kernel header, rather
than working around this problem in each and every application.)
Patch was diffed against 2.5.999-test7-bk-9.
Regards,
Daniel.
