(Resending) Bernhard, thank you for sharing. Mauro, I've reviewed this patch, it has a host of problems. Ignoring the fact it contains patches to all sorts of different cards (saa7164, CX231xx, PVR-USB2)... the patch also contains materials that I suspect Silicon Labs would consider proprietary and confidential, its definitely derived works from proprietary SILABS drivers.
