on patch "DVB: add firesat driver" in staging.git

I now pushed the following two branches out to linux1394-2.6.git:

    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ieee1394/linux1394-2.6.git firedtv
    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ieee1394/linux1394-2.6.git firedtv-2.6.27

The firedtv branch is based on Linux v2.6.25.  It can be cleanly pulled
into a 2.6.25(.y) based tree or a 2.6.26(.y) based tree.

The firedtv-2.6.27 branch is based on Linux v2.6.27-rc3 and can thus be
pulled cleanly into a clone of Linus' current tree.

To track one of these branches, you can for example run

    git remote add -t firedtv linux1394 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ieee1394/linux1394-2.6.git
or
    git remote add -t firedtv-2.6.27 linux1394 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ieee1394/linux1394-2.6.git

in a clone of linux-2.6.git.  Then stay up to date for example with

    git fetch linux1394
    git checkout my-work-branch
    git pull . refs/remotes/linux1394/firedtv
or
    git pull . refs/remotes/linux1394/firedtv-2.6.27

I will also keep my firedtv quilt kits up to date during the merge
preparation phase:  http://user.in-berlin.de/~s5r6/linux1394/firedtv/

This is the current content of the firedtv branch:


Ben Backx (2):
      firesat: fix DVB-S2 device recognition
      firesat: add DVB-S support for DVB-S2 devices

Greg Kroah-Hartman (1):
      DVB: add firesat driver

Henrik Kurelid (1):
      firesat: update isochronous interface, add CI support

The firedtv-2.6.27 branch is the same plus a merge commit to warp it
forward to 2.6.27-rc3.

I.e. there is still some smaller and bigger work to be done like
  - adding missing copyright notices,
  - rename the driver from firesat to firedtv,
  - misc coding style adaptions and API usage changes (whitespace,
    camelcase names, semaphore to mutex conversion, bitfields...),
  - addressing some sparse warnings.

I will gradually work on these items as spare time permits and will post
patches to the list for review before I do any updates of the git repo.
Henrik told me that he wants to look into reported runtime issues of the
driver; I will harvest such patches as well and will try to merge them
with ongoing style cleanups.

When some of the more obvious cleanups are done, I will post a snapshot
of firedtv on LKML and ask for inclusion into linux-next.  In my
opinion, we should aim for mainline merge of firedtv right after 2.6.27
was released, i.e. before 2.6.28-rc1.

Comments (and patches) are welcome,
