I've been exchanging e-mails with Markus for months and he supported very well my board (cx88 chip with xc2028 tuner). But at the same time, I noticed that there's a disagreement between Markus and the maintainers and I think this is counterproductive. As far as I know there's a lot of code to be merged in the kernel and we, the users, are waiting for months to see that. If the maintainers keep discussing everything to death, it won't get any further. So please, let's work together and reach the objective.
