Hello !
You are so right in regards to the burden of replacing and recompiling the complete media tree after even minor kernel update. It was said to me at the IBC in Amsterdam, that TBS is actively trying to get its open source driver ready to be submitted for the kernel tree. I wish this to be true.

Are there any plans to support the efforts to get TBS card support upstream in the near future?
