You forgot a patch description. Since neither the HD-3000 or HD-5500 came with a remote, and at least my HD-3000 didn't even come with an IR receiver. So I have to ask why configuring the driver to work a remote you happened to have is any more correct than configuring it to work a remote someone else happens to have? This patch also causes these cards to generate 101 interrupts per second per card, even when not in use. That seems pretty costly for a card that doesn't even come with an ir sensor. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
