Mauro,

"...people merged two similar issues together, on different drivers..."  
It was you -- did you forget?

cx88: http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb/rev/2eb392c86745

saa7134: http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb/rev/e7668fc3666c

I'm surprised that you don't remember this -- you pushed this to Linus 
late in the 2.6.25-rcX, after I had strongly advised against this -- I 
warned you that this may create regressions, needed thorough testing, 
and was too risky a change to push into the middle of 2.6.25-rc

I hate to say, "I told you so" .... but.............

;-)

Lets get your fixes tested ASAP so we can fix 2.6.25-stable.

Regards,

Mike
