s_j_newbury: I would love to see 970015 support added to the staging driver.
* all the tasks in the TODO file new to be completed.

I have on of those cards installed in my Atom N450 based hpmini notebook. I have never had the chance to try it however.

I've been working on this too. I've been cleaning up the staging kernel driver and merging in the support for new hardware from the upstream crystalhd git repo. With work and spreading myself too thinly over too many projects has meant I just haven't had enough time lately to get everything done, I would like to. I'll get in touch with Guido and see if we can work together.

Phoronix: Crystal HD Decodes New Linux Support Improvements
A couple years ago Broadcom released the Crystal HD as a standalone hardware video decoder chip. While there's been an open-source Linux driver for the Crystal HD, we haven't heard much about it in recent months, but that changed this morning...
