Hi there! MFE patches added a variable "id" to struct dvb_frontend. This variable seems to be uninitialized for some drivers. The result is for my skystar2 card (using stv0299 frontend) it sometimes is 0 as it should but sometimes it is a random value, so I get this register message: DVB: registering adapter 1 frontend -10551321 (ST STV0299 DVB-S) The related kernel thread then also has a strange name like: kdvb-ad-1-fe--1 The same happens for my dvb-ttpci card using ves1x93 frontend. Now I wonder if all frontend drivers should be switched to use kzalloc instead of kmalloc for struct dvb_frontend, or if it is the bridge driver that should init the id-value. What about all other members of this struct? Will they be initialized correctly?
