Hm, all of these patches seems like these are new features being
backported to the 2.6.16.y kernel, which is not really allowed under the
current -stable rules.
Or are these patches just bugfixes that fix with the current -stable
rules?
They add support for additional hardware to the saa7134 driver.
If you look at the actual diff there's not much that could cause any
regression since nearly all of these change don't change anything for
the already supported cards.
As long as there's not a serious risk of regressions, such additions are
welcome in 2.6.16.
I believe you should not do that. Maybe risk of regression is small,
but risk of adding non-working driver is not,
If it didn't work before and doesn't work after, nothing changed.
and goal of -stable is
to be stable, not to have feature-of-the-day.
No disagreement.
