I tried your patch and for me it resulted the following constant complaints:
saa7146 (0): saa7146_wait_for_debi_done_sleep timed out while waiting for
transfer completion
saa7146 (0): saa7146_wait_for_debi_done_sleep timed out while waiting for
transfer completion
saa7146 (0): saa7146_wait_for_debi_done_sleep timed out while waiting for
transfer completion
The above complaint started as soon MythBackend started hopping from
channel to channel and gathering EIT-information. These messages came
every once couple of minutes until I stopped the test run.
Kernel is 2.6.23.9-91 (fedora 7) and HG tree latest.
