Thanks for that.

I used the "load firmware" interface for that (don't know if it is intended for stuff
like that).
The following sample works, but didn't free all allocated memory in case
of a failure:
#define INIT_PCTV452E 0x01
static int pctv452e_load_firmware(struct usb_device *d, const struct
firmware *fw) {
u8 *ptr, *buf;
int bufferpos, actlen, ret;
deb_info("starting download (fw->size=%d).\n", fw->size);
ptr = fw->data;
buf = kmalloc(512, GFP_KERNEL | GFP_DMA);
bufferpos=0;
while(bufferpos<fw->size) {
u8 buflen=ptr[0];
memcpy(buf, ++ptr, buflen);
if( (ret=usb_bulk_msg(d, usb_sndbulkpipe(d, INIT_PCTV452E), buf,
buflen, &actlen, 5000)) ) {
err("bulk message failed: %d (%d/%d)",ret,buflen,actlen);
return ret;
}
ptr += buflen;
bufferpos += buflen+1;
}
kfree(buf);
deb_info("finished download (%d, %d)\n", fw->size, bufferpos);
return 0;
}
static struct dvb_usb_properties pctv452e_properties = {
....
.usb_ctrl = DEVICE_SPECIFIC,
.download_firmware = pctv452e_load_firmware,
.firmware = "dvb-usb-pctv452e.fw",
....
}
You can find the "firmware" attached. It's basically what I have snooped
when windows is initializing the device. So the name is maybe
misleading.
The file format is very simple. You can think as blocks of bulk messages
with block length in bytes as the first byte of each block.
