Ok, let's go by parts: 1) We need to know the sequence that enables tda9887 on md7134/fmd1216me, in order to fix it. If someone has fmd1216me, please write me in priv or help us to fix the code for it. 2) I bet that the issue with tda10046 is related to firmware loading. I made some tests with a TV @nyware cardbus device that has a tda10046 + tda8290/tda8975. What happens is that this device supports two type of firmware loads. The first one requires an i2c eeprom with the firmware inside. The driver just writes 0x04 at register 0x07 and waits for some time. The hardware does the firmware load. On the second mode, firmware bytes are transferred from the driver into the tda10046 memory. At the tests I made here, on both modes, the i2c bus can't have any other traffic during the firmware load. Otherwise, an invalid firmware will be loaded and tda10046 will hangup. I've started to implement some locks at saa7134 driver (on my saa7134 experimental tree), but it is not finished yet.
