Hi Tobi,
I suspect that this were the upstream change that affected your work, right?
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=b852d36b86902abb272b0f2dd7a56dd2d17ea88c
There are two changesets that will likely fix this issue:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=85efde6f4e0de9577256c5f0030088d3fd4347c1
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=9adfbfb611307060db54691bc7e6d53fdc12312b
Could you please try to apply they on 2.6.29 and see if those will solve the
issue? If so, then we should probably add those on 2.6.29.2.
Anyway, in order to keep v4l-dvb aligned with upstream, I'll backport the above
changesets into the development tree.
