[linux-dvb] REPOST: [DVB] tda1004x regression in 2.6.7

[Andreaz@t-online.de (Andreas Witte)]

Hello Ian.

I would like to test your patch. But it seems it wont work with
the latest cvs-snap. =( I would really like to test the new
firmware. Maybe it's a bit better in tuning-speed? Did you
realized any better with that new firmware?

Regards,
Andreas

Hi.

Attached is a diff I've made.

I tried the 2.6.7-bk20 driver for the tda1004x frontend on my DVB-T card,
only to find out that it failed to work, unlike the 2.6.5 driver which
appeared to work well.

I assumed this was due to my firmware being out of date but this was not the
case.

I discovered the problem was related to some additions made to the driver,
and commenting them out allowed things to work again. Ther is also a dodgy
looking alteration to some pointer (fe->data).

In the course of my fiddling, I added support to the firmware list for the
latest (2.17d) firmware.

all this is in the attached diff, and the driver works in this modified
state for me.
