My current areas of activity in the Linux kernel are the media (for media controller and V4L2) and graphics subsystems, where I hack on both the core frameworks and device drivers. The topics proposed this year that I'm particularly interested in are - Probe ordering, device dependencies and asynchronous probing, especially given their direct impact on embedded media and graphics devices (in the functional sense) that are usually made of multiple kernel devices (in the struct device sense). - Sensors and subsystem boundaries. As the co-author of the media controller API (with Sakari Ailus, based on a proposal from Hans Verkuil) I've tried to bridge the gap between the media, sound and graphics subsystems for a long time. Lessons learnt there can be of interest to the other areas of the kernel now being impacted by the same issue. - Testing infrastructure and unit testing, wearing both my programmer and technical evangelist hats. This could overlap partially with the regression tracking topic. If the documentation and maintainership topics get discussed (in sessions or during the hallway track) I would like to participate as well. -- Regards, Laurent Pinchart
