Arnd Bergmann	55f6561c69	staging/stradis: mark as "depends on BKL" 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.

staging/stradis: mark as "depends on BKL"

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.

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.

V4L/DVB: Deprecate stradis driver

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.
