Re: hauppauge HVR 900H

Hi Eddi,

I'm working on this driver. I have one HVR900H. Unfortunately, I've been 
too busy those days, since I'm responsible for the entire subsystem 
maintainership and I have a job that it is unrelated to V4L. So, I can 
work on it only on my spare time.

The HVR uses a tm6010 chip. The commands for this is slicely different 
than the ones for tm6000. The driver has some support for it, but some 
adjustments are needed.

The firmware file is for xc3028XL variant.

The current tree is broken (the urb decoding code is causing some OOPS 
during IRQ, causing kernel panic). I'm debugging it.

About i2c discover, don't trust on their results. The normal procedure for 
detecting i2c devices doesn't seem to work with tm6000.

Cheers,
Mauro
