You can ignore the eeprom error, it is not effecting your tests.

If you specify analog .porta in the card struct, it has to load the 
analog audio encoder firmware. This is why this firmware is loaded.

remove the portb and portc entries in your newly defined cards struct, 
these errors will be removed.

Focus on fixing analog first, enabling portb and portc only complicates 
things.

Use tvtime and switch he input to svideo or composite, does this work?

remove the portb definition for the time being.

Acccording to the logs, shouldn't this be 0xc8 >> 1? or 0xc4 >> 1?

Correct.

Yes.

One section for each available input. TVTuner, Composite and Svideo. 
They configure the video mux to the correct signals are received by the 
video hardware.

You need to modify the tuner_callback function to toggle the correct 
GPIO and reset the tuner hardware, else you will get this error.

Because porta is defined as being an analog input.

Try tvtime, and switch tvtime to use the composite or svideo inputs 
connected to a video source. Does this help?

Good good. Disable all of the portb and portc code. Focus on getting 
analog svideo or composite working first. After this the tuner changes 
should be small.

Once analog is working correctly, digital can be enabled.
