Thanks for your contribution, and I hope it sees usage.
I have found that for many kernel revisions, I have had to have
some variant of the following added code, for my Siano-based
device to function automatically in DVB-T modus:
--- 3.0.0-rc1-hacks/sms-cards.c.orig 2011-04-06 04:04:12.000000000 +0200
+++ 3.0.0-rc1-hacks/sms-cards.c 2011-07-09 10:17:30.000000000 +0200

Apologies if this problem has been addressed by your patchset.
If there was a reason for removing this functionality, I have
not been able to follow it over time.
Another thing, as my device is capable of receiving DAB radio
broadcasts and Siano has provided a library to make this possible
under Linux, are there plans to update this library for the DAB+
standard that is now being used, with the Reed-Solomon error
protection and up to HE-AACv2 audio encoding? (I am aware of the
960-sample-window incompatibility with many AAC software players.)
