That patchset is simply far away from merge. Tons of issues to be fixed.
It is huge amount of work to get that all in. I could estimate one month
full time work even my experience is not enough. And I simply don't want
to waste that much money from my pockets, it is many thousand euros. So
I do it, if I do, on my schedule.
There is many separate issues which needs to be done. It is not
something one people should do all. For example mainlining that
DVB-T/T2/C/C2 demod driver. Another thing is DVB-C2 API, which is not
much coding, but a lot of specification. You need to read and
*understand* DVB-C2 spec and on some level other specs (mostly DVB-T2)
in order to add missing pieces correctly to DVB API. If you are not
coder, start here.

Hi all,
It's been 3 weeks since these patches were submitted - have they been
merged yet? If not - what's the problem? Who has to check this?
I'm not the only one longing for driver updated support of ddbridge "by
default", and it would really be nice if there was some "progress" here.
Antti did a lot of work here for all us ddbridge users.

After cold power-on, my device wasn't able to find DuoFlex C/C2/T/T2
Expansion card, which I added yesterday. I looked old and new drivers
and tried many things, but no success. Old kernel driver was ages,
many years, behind manufacturer current Linux driver and there has
been a tons of changes. So I ended up upgrading Linux kernel driver
to 0.9.15a (it was 0.5).
Now it is very near Digital Devices official driver, only modulator
and network streaming stuff is removed and CI is abusing SEC like
earlier also.
Few device models are not supported due to missing kernel driver or
missing device profile. Those devices are based of following DTV
frontend chipsets:
MaxLinear MxL5xx
STMicroelectronics STV0910
STMicroelectronics STV0367
Tree for testing is here:
