Re: [virtio-dev] [PATCH RFC v4 0/1] Virtio Video Device Specification

[Alexandre Courbot <acourbot@chromium.org>]

Hi all,

I think the v5 should be ready for public review. It has considerably
changed compared to v3, however the changes are mostly simplifications
and addressing issues we experienced with v3 on Chrome OS, so
hopefully it's for the better. Let me do a final check before sending
it to the virtio list.

Cheers,
Alex.
