Hi,

This driver seems like it should be trivial to get working on
linux-dvb, which is where you want it - the tree you've based it on
isn't much longer for this world. (I don't think any of the code
you're using has changed significantly between Markus' branch and the
main one). It needs some cleanup, though. At a glance:

- Don't use C++-style comments (the single-line // ones)
- The whole "addr == pctv200e_mt2060_config.i2c_address" part looks
iffy; I think you should remove this and use i2c_gate_ctrl instead.
Unfortunately, I'm not sure this'll work currently, since mt2060
doesn't appear to support it.
- ctrl_msg_last_device/ctrl_msg_last_operation must go - they won't
work right if you use multiple devices of this type. The code in the
"if (ctrl_msg_last_device == 0)" section can probably go elsewhere,
but I'm not sure where
- Why are you incrementing the register value in pctv200e_ctrl_msg?

The linuxtv developers will probably be able to give you more advice.

Aidan
