The flexcop bridge chip has two banks of hardware pid filters - an initial 6, and on some chip revisions an additional bank of 32. A bug is present on the initial 6 - when changing transponders one of two PAT packets from the old transponder would be included in the initial packets from the new transponder. This usually transpired with userspace programs complaining about services missing, because they are seeing a PAT that they would not be expecting. Running in full TS mode does not exhibit this problem, neither does using just the additional 32. This patch adds in an option to not use the inital 6 and solely use just the additional 32, and enables this option for the SkystarS2 card. Other cards can be added as required if they also have this bug.
Why not to use strategy where 32 pid filter is used as a priority and that buggy 6 pid filter is used only when 32 pid filter is not available (or it is already 100% in use)?
