We need to separate the things:

1) breakage of stv0297-based cards

This was a mistake - I'm still trying to see which atomic modification 
causes that.... Should be a 3-liner to fix it, but where...

2) s5h1420-based cards

I modified it to support a new card - right. I published the patch and ask 
for owners of the NOVA-S SE to test it. After not receiving a comment from 
anyone Mauro agreed to integrate it and wait if it breaks for someone. I 
agree this is not the smoothest/nicest way, but what else could I have 
done to move forward?

Blindly reverting now would push me back where I was 6 months ago :(. But 
I totally agree with this idea when someone of you NOVA-S SE owners gives 
me a hand in order to test a possibly fixed patch. ;)

Patrick.
