I am removing a CC to unnecessarily avoid a flame. That opinion has been

IMHO, code that which is bad should be fixed and then only be accepted
into the project. I don't see any reason for any person/project to be
given any special status and things should work just as normally.
It is completely wrong to artificially create a huge importance/need
and doing things -- Incorrect way of doing things.

em28xx is just a normal USB bridge chip. xc3028 is a simple tuner that
has supports analog mode

I have sent another mail on another thread, please do read that post and
the relevant links and please do mention why you think it would work
this way.
