At first time, I check it exist so try to patch it.
But with new m88ds3103 features to add and ts2022 tuner include, find it is hard to do simply patch.
It is better to create a new driver for maintain.
Hi Max,

Montage m88ds3103 demodulator and ts2022 tuner driver.
It was pointed to me that this device were already discussed on:
http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-media@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg43109.html
If m88ds3103 demod is similar enough to ds3000, it should just add the needed
bits at the existing driver, and not creating a new driver.
Thanks,

The main problem of these all existing and upcoming Montage DVB-S/S2 drivers are those are not split originally correct as a tuner and demod and now it causes problems.
I really suspect it should be:
* single demod driver that supports both DS3000 and DS3103
* single tuner driver that supports both TS2020 and TS2022
And now what we have is 2 drivers that contains both tuner and demod. And a lot of same code. :-(
But it is almost impossible to split it correctly at that phase if you don't have both hardware combinations, DS3000/TS2020 and DS3103/TS2022. I think it is best to leave old DS3000 as it is and make new driver for DS3103 *and* TS2022. Maybe after that someone could add DS3000 support to new DS3103 driver and TS2020 support to new TS2022 driver. After that it is possible to remove old DS3000 driver.
And we should really consider make simple rule not to accept any driver which is not split as logical parts: USB/PCI-interface + demodulator + tuner.
Mixing tuner and demod is not good. Yet, dropping the current ds3000 doesn't
seem to be the best approach.
IMO, Konstantin/Montage should split the ds3000 driver on two drivers, putting
the ts2020 bits on a separate driver.
Then, Max should write a patch for ds3000 in order to add support for ds3103 on
it, and a patch for ts2020 driver, in order to add support for ts2022 on it.
Of course, Konstantin should check if Max changes don't break support for the
DS3000/TS2020 configuration.

Actually, I have the following hardware combinations.
1)DS3000 and TS2020 2)DS3103 and TS2020 3)DS3103 and TS2022
Should I sumbit the driver for DS3103 and TS2022 in the split files?
Or I must wait for Konstantin's work. How long should I wait for?
OK, then you have good change to write driver for the DS3103 and
TS2020/TS2022.
I don't know how long exactly we should wait Konstantin's reply - this
issue have open now several weeks and I think he haven't replied. My
opinion is that lets wait few days and if no any reply just start
splitting your driver for the DS3103 and TS2020/TS2022.
regards
Antti
