We're seeing a mix of SI2168 demodulators appearing on HVR2205 and

verified on my cards.

The si2168 driver detects some cards fine, others not at all. I can
reproduce the working and non-working case. The fix, if we detect a
newer card (D40) load the B firmware.

This fix works well for me and properly enables DVB-T tuning behavior
using tzap.

Thanks to Peter Faulkner-Ball for describing his workaround.

hymm, I am not sure that patch at all. It is Olli who has been responsible adding support for multiple chip revisions, so I will leave that for Olli. I have only 2 Si2168 devices and both are B40 version.

Anyhow, for me it looks like firmware major version is always increased when new major revision of chip is made. Due to that I expected 5.0 after B version 5.0.
A 1.0
A 2.0
A 3.0
B 4.0
C 5.0 ?
D 6.0 ?


And how we could explain situation Olli has device that had been working earlier, but now it does not? Could you Olli look back you old git tree and test if it still works? One possible reason could be also PCIe interface I2C adapter bug. Or timing issue.

Antti
