stk1160 driver missing

[Rosch]

I use my pi for videograbbing together with an easycap device which is stk1160 based.

With 3.10.y kernel it worked. I got some corrupt frames, but it worked.
Some days ago I have read that these problems might be gone with the USB driver rewrite in 3.12.

Yesterday night I updated to 3.12 using rpi-update. I was shocked to see that the stk1160 driver is no longer present at all!

Was this is a mistake?
Will it come back (I need it(!))?
When will it come back?

Looks like the driver changed between 3.10 and 3.12. On 3.12 looks like we want this:

I'll enable that option for the next firmware update.

Thank you!

When do you expect it to be available?

Within a week.

Should be done. Please rpi-update and test.

Finally I could test it!
There is a good and a bad news.

The good news is: It is working! I can capture again.

The bad new is: I get a lot more corrupt frames than before. :-(
I thinks this is more an usb problem. So I had to switch back to kernel 3.10 unfortunately.
I hoped the revised USB driver in 3.12 would help, but this is not the case.

Create an issue in https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/ where the USB guy (p33m) will see.
I'll close this issue as module is now included.
