Hi As was a compilation error, I used git bisect skip. From what I've come up with something that I think is not what I'm looking for. Is it advisable to do it again? and where you get an error trying to git bisect bad and see where it arrived and then git bisec good again. what I got was: ... alfredo@linux-puon:/usr/src/git/linux>

a subset of the supported standards, use the DVBv5 cache information. Also, fill the supported delivery systems at dvb_frontend_ops struct.
