[linux-dvb] MC44S803 frontend (it works)

Hi Antti,

Yes. Currently, MC44S803 uses a READ in mc44s80x_get_devid() to check the ID register.
According to the spec from freescale, a READ needs to be a seperate I2c transaction,
because the STOP bit is used to latch the address registers. That's the reason why a
dedicated READ support is needed (most other tuners use a WRITE / READ combined I2c
transaction instead).

Unfortunately, i didn't see any comments from Manu yet...

Thanks,
