The fix weren't caused by the changesets you've pointed, but are much older. If
you try to revert both changesets and load tuner before cx88/saa7134, or
compile tuner statically, you'll notice exact the same issue.

The issue is that set_type_addr were called at the wrong place.

Anyway, I've just committed a patch that should fix this for cx88. I'll soon
use the same logic to fix also saa7134.

I've also added a patch for tuner-core, to improve debug (of course, this
doesn't need to go to -stable). This helps to see the bug, if tuner debug is
enabled.

Cheers,
Mauro
