I read few internet formums and it is common problem. And Linux can be first with working solution. Problem is "dynamic current limit" in ISL6421 chip see to PDF http://www.intersil.com/data/fn/fn9130.pdf "Dynamic current limit" is protection feature. When overload is detected, chip periodicaly try switch on power (20ms). But in some DiseqC switches it is problem on switch on (power capacitors). My switch include 4 LNBs have 150mA supply on working state, but switch on chip detect current overload (from 575 till 950)mA@20ms Hauppauge WinTV Nova-S Plus need in this configuration static type of current protection. This patch add support for dynamic/static protection switch At this moment it is only static option. PDF datasheet recomend for this cases: switch power with static protection a later change it to dynamic. This is not supported at this path, but I can write code for it, when somebody wants. It is also possible add support for read overload or overheat detection status from chip for /proc . I have code but it have problem in documentation. PDF is little bit unclear for it. SR1 register is not problem, but SR2 register can be read only as second byte in I2C communication. PDF describe something unclear with "SR" bite, but is different from my working code.
