Its perfect for end users who only need to support the newer board, but isn't too helpful for the kernel as it disables support for the prior board. What the kernel needs is a single patch that (probably) reads the card eeprom and deterministically attaches the correct demodulator for the hardware, so users can mix'n'match old and new cards. If the eeprom doesn't help then we'll need to figure something else out. It's on my todo-list at somepoint. I traded a card with John a few weeks ago so I have everything I need to make it happen, other than time!
