/* Note that the cx25840 driver requires that the bridge driver calls the
|
||||
v4l2_subdev's init operation in order to load the driver's firmware.
|
||||
Without this the audio standard detection will fail and you will
|
||||
only get mono.
|
||||
|
||||
Since loading the firmware is often problematic when the driver is
|
||||
compiled into the kernel I recommend postponing calling this function
|
||||
until the first open of the video device. Another reason for
|
||||
postponing it is that loading this firmware takes a long time (seconds)
|
||||
due to the slow i2c bus speed. So it will speed up the boot process if
|
||||
you can avoid loading the fw as long as the video device isn't used. */
