Please, take a look at http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb/raw-file/tip/README.patches
before submitting a patch.

Basically, you should never submit a patch on zip format, since scripts don't
work. Also, always c/c linux-media ML for development issues and patches.

The format of the email also need to follow the stated rules on README.patches,
to be properly handled by patchwork.kernel.org (the tool we use to get the
patches and apply).

Also, please review the format of the patch before submitting (with make
checkpatch), to be sure that it is following the Coding Style used on Linux.

Cheers,
Mauro
