Hi Mauro,

if it is not too late, here is a pull request for some new devices from DiBcom. It would be nice to have it in 2.6.38-rc1.

Pull from

git://linuxtv.org/pb/media_tree.git staging/for_2.6.38-rc1.dibcom

for

DiBxxxx: Codingstype updates


Not sure if this is by purpose, but you're changing all
msleep(10) into msleep(20). This sounds very weird for a
CodingStyle fix:

-	msleep(10);
+	msleep(20);

I was as surprised as you when I saw that changed, but in fact it is a checkpatch-fix: it seems that checkpatch is warning about msleep or less than 20ms.

Maybe it is not the right fix to put them to msleep(20), but I think this is better than to do udelay(10000).

What do you think?


+	if (request_firmware(&state->frontend_firmware, "dib9090.fw", &adap->dev->udev->dev)) {

Where's dib9090.fw firmware is available? The better is to submit a patch to linux-firmware
with the firmware binary, with some license that allows end-users to use it with your device
and distros/distro partners to re-distribute it. While here, please add also the other
dibcom firmwares.

The dib0700-firmware is already available through a license. The dib9090-firmware will come later. It'll take a moment before everything is ready.


Vendors are free to use their own legal text for it. There are several examples for it
at:

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/dwmw2/linux-firmware.git;a=blob_plain;f=WHENCE;hb=HEAD


Btw, there are two alignment errors (one at dib7000p, for some cases, aligned with 4 chars),
and another at dib8000, where all statements after an if are aligned with 3 tabs plus one space.
I'm fixing those issues, c/c you at the fix patches.

Nice, thank you.

best regards,
