2010-11-17staging/stradis: mark as "depends on BKL"Arnd Bergmann
The stradis driver is on its way out, but it should still be marked correctly as depending on the big kernel lock. It could easily be changed to not require it if someone decides to revive the driver and port it to v4l2 in the process.

2010-11-09staging: stradis: fix error handling and information leak to userlandVasiliy Kulikov
configure_saa7146() didn't free irq on error. saa_open() didn't decrease reference count of saa on error. saa_ioctl() leaked information from the kernel stack to userland as it didn't fill copied structs with zeros.

2010-10-21V4L/DVB: Deprecate stradis driverMauro Carvalho Chehab
The driver author seems to not worked on this driver since its conversion from 2.2 to 2.4. Nobody is known to have a stradis hardware for testing. As it still uses V4L1 API, BKL and probably some other old stuff, someone would need to work on it to preserve the driver. Instead of investing time and efforts to keep porting it to work with new API's, it seems better to just drop the driver. So, let's move it to drivers/staging and label it to die at 2.6.38, if nobody cares enough to port parallel port support to gspca or to create a new driver that uses the same gspca-cpia sub-driver.
