Re: [PATCH] si2157: Fix DVB-C bandwidth.

That's right,
A few days ago I also checked that with Antti. I've also had made some
debugging and DVB core is in fact passing the correct bandwidth to the
driver.

But the true is that it doesn't work...
The sample I have is a dvb-c mux using QAM128 @ 6 Mbaud (which results
in 7MHz bw) using 7MHz filter value will make the TS stream
unwatchable (lots of continuity errors).

Can this be a hardware fault?
All closed source drivers I've seen are hardcoding this value to 8MHz
when working in dvb-c (easily seen on i2c sniffs).
