From my side I do not see any problem with that patch, if someone else
has a problem with it please state out the reason.

I have no problem with the patch since it has nothing to do with my DVB
card but you're only encouraging Uwe to be abusive since it seems to
help get him what he wants:

It's not working. Patches should still be applied on the basis of what
they do and how, not why they were made, of course.

this patch was written by Trent, and it seems like he already had that
idea earlier too.

I really don't care if that patch goes in or not in the end, there's
just no need to flame around for it.

The only reason I see is that it's not needed to link it statically
against the bt878 module and there isn't even much work to do.
Uwe's Makefile patch worked as expected, but it wasn't clean/complete
enough that was a reason to not include it.
Now with Trent's patch I don't see that as a valid argument against it
anymore.
And the email from Manu claiming that it generates alot work (which is
btw. 2 years old) doesn't seem to be valid either.

Thank you, Markus - you are a real fine and straight chap.
You should be team leader of this community.
BTW:
Are my latest attempts sent to you already involved in the latest development state
(Read: Is dvb-pll.c deselectable now without breaking support for lgdt330)?
I simply stumbled over that lgdt330 binding in module dvb-bt8xx.c, line 641 or so.
Anything else I resolved at least from my personal side.

A thousands of thanks to you and Trent - well done!
