Re: [v4l-dvb-maintainer] [GIT PATCHES] V4L/DVB updates

Hi,

I have tested these patches with:

Freecom DVB-T dongle
Pluto2 pcmcia card
Leadtek WinFast DTV dongle 1st generation
Leadtek WinFast DTV dongle 2nd generation

These are 4 different devices with 4 different hw and modules.
All works. Please apply.

Michal

I don't think that this is 2.6.21 material. These patches have not yet
received
enough testing to be sent to mainline.

I have tested them, and they seem to work for my cxusb device, but we
have yet to hear test results from users of usb dvb devices that do not
use the dvb-usb framework. (ttusb, flexcop-usb, cinergyT2, for example)

The bug that these patches fix has been around throughout the entire
kernel history of the dvb subsystem. The bug is not a regression -- it
has always been
there. In my opinion, it is too late in 2.6.21 development to apply
this change.
Because these fixes are not obvious, I think we should let them get some
more testing, and have them queued for 2.6.22 .

Unless I misunderstand anything, this should fix [1].

And this is a bug that was reported to be present in 2.6.21-rc but not
in 2.6.20 (and it's therefore a regression, no matter whether the
underlying problem was older and only exposed by some other change).

Regards,

Michael
