I must have missed the mention of this tree.

I have a problem, though, as the current v4l-dvb repository doesn't compile
against the linux-davinci git tree. And the only way I can get it to compile
is to apply all five patches first.

However, the whole tree should still compile after each patch is applied. And
that goes wrong with your second patch where the Kconfig and Makefile are
modified when the new sources aren't even added yet!

What I would like to see is a patch series that starts with one patch that
makes the current v4l-dvb tree compile again, then the arch patch is added,
then a series of v4l-dvb patches in such an order that everything compiles
after each step.

Merging this is already complicated enough without breaking compilation in
this way.

Regards,

	Hans
