Hmmhh, reading what it changes "Two fixes for the 'saa7146_wait_for_debi_done' code: (a) Timeout did not work when the routine was called with interrupts disabled. (b) Reduce PCI I/O load caused by saa7146_wait_for_debi_done. Seems to be very important on fast machines!" I am not sure why this could fix the problems I am seeing. I can give it a try if you are quite confident that it could help, but I get - gcc compile failures - filesystem corruptions - database corruptions when the card's driver is loaded and is in use for a few days (and then finally a hang/crash+reboot). I have the *feeling* that the situation improved slightly by improving reception via F-connectors, so I thing there is some kind of buffer overflow or so occurring... Anyway thanks for your work, I will happily try it if you think it may fix this problem.
