[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] v4l2: allow to convert monotonic timestamps.

Hi,

this version looks good to me, thanks for updating the patch!

When committing, you can add some comments on the definitions of V4L_TS_DEFAULT
(BTW, the _RAW name looked more intuitive to me, but it's ok), V4L_TS_ABS,
and V4L_TS_MONO2ABS, explaining their meanings.


			Thanks,
				Luca
