  • This patch supersedes the earlier ones sent by Manu Abraham to add
    the Broadcom Crystal HD driver to the staging tree, per discussion
    with him about it. I've been working with Broadcom's Naren Sankar
    on this driver for a number of months, and had already talked Naren
    about submitting this on Broadcom's behalf, didn't expect anyone
    else to jump on submitting it as quickly as Manu did. ;)

    This version is a one-shot deal, incorporating the original driver,
    Manu's coding style clean-ups, udev device creation support from
    Edgar 'gimli' Hucek, and a number of other small tweaks from myself
    and Scott Davilla, the other individual who has been working closely
    on this code with Naren and I.

    I've tested this iteration of the code lightly on a mini pci-e board
    in a ThinkPad T61p running x86_64 Fedora 12, with the expected results,
    and will test further on other systems with other variants of the card
    (I have three varieties of this device currently in hand). Scott has
    also tested on assorted primarily i686 varieties of Ubuntu, and Naren
    has tested with both Fedora and Ubuntu, iirc.

    Note: only the 70012 is currently supported by this driver, 70015
    support will follow later. Also note that Blu-Ray support isn't
    enabled (at the firmware level), due to misc fun related to the
    BD encryption scheme, DRM, etc. :\

    I *do* have a git tree containing the driver, lib, gst plugin and
    firmware that I'm working from at the moment[*], as there are inter-
    dependencies between the driver and lib, and the driver can be used
    with kernels going a ways back (I've only tested back to 2.6.18 as
    it exists in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5). I'm exporting from there,
    into a linux-next tree, then generating patches from there. The goal
    is to feed everything upstream as quickly as possible, but there are
    users who want this code for earlier kernels too...

    The firmware will be submitted for inclusion in dwmw2's linux-firmware
    tree once there is a suitable redistribution-no-modification type of
    license on it (I believe Naren is working with Broadcom legal to get
    that in place).

    Changelog from initial Broadcom release to here:

    Unfortunately, we're unable to publicly publish all the history that got
    us from the initial internal code to what was released here, but such is
    life, we can just be happy we've got this open-sourced now. :)
