No!  Dont patch the kernel, instead, patch dvb-kernel cvs with the patch 
on the mailinglist, plus the following, below.

You have to apply the dvb patch, then the attached v4l patch against 
v4l-kernel cvs, then use the instructions for merge-trees cvs build, 
located at:

http://linuxtv.org/v4lwiki/index.php/How_to_build_from_CVS

Once the cx24123 gets officially added into dvb-kernel cvs, I will apply 
the attached patch to v4l-kernel cvs, and all you'll have to do is do 
the merged-cvs build and you'll be set.

Steve was a bit premature in saying this.  If you want to wait till 
after the code gets officially merged into cvs, things will be easier.
