Hi Kenneth.

I cant apply any of your patches you made. =(
(Tried only dvb-core).

Can't really understand why they rejected. I applied the 3 reject-files
for your info. I was using a real late cvs-grab from yesterday or so.

Regards,
Andreas

It was expected, as the bt878 driver has not been updated yet. Anyways, I
have
had a look at the bttv driver and there's really no clean way of using the
FE_REGISTER/FE_UNREGISTER i2c client commands. As I see it, ideally the
frontends should not have to know about a dvb_adapter at all. I've attached
a
couple of patches for dvb-core, av7110 and stv0299 that implement this
change. Is this an ok method of solving this problem?
