Hi,
I was having (still am! :) trouble with my nova-t 500 card and I wanted
a way to be able try a different firmware... but the current code only
loads in a cold state... and my "mythbackend" is pretty inaccessible, so
I made the attached change. This allows a module parameter of
"force_load_firmware" which causes the "cold state" logic to be used
when warm. Thought this might be a useful idea, it was handy for me anyway.
Cheers,
Ivor
