Hello,
against my expectation, the Nova-S SE card does not work, although the
card is recognized by the kernel. Frontend modul is loaded, but no
signal can be received. So VDR exists (Emergency exit) when switching
to this device (i.e. to record something)
Any suggestions?

I think it is a problem of this changeset http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb/rev/358d281e6a3d
from Patrick Boettcher. The S5H1420 isn't able to understand repeated start conditions.
The i2c-read code was changed from:
if ((ret = i2c_transfer (state->i2c, &msg1, 1)) != 1)
return ret;
if ((ret = i2c_transfer (state->i2c, &msg2, 1)) != 1)
return ret;
to:
if (state->config->repeated_start_workaround) {
ret = i2c_transfer(state->i2c, msg, 3);
if (ret != 3)
return ret;
} else {
ret = i2c_transfer(state->i2c, &msg[1], 2);
if (ret != 2)
return ret;
}
I think you are right.
Btw, I don't understand Patrick's workaround.
As the tuner does not support repeated start conditions, the solution
is to send two separate messages, as it was before.
Does the attached patch fix the problem?
