Re: [PATCH][media] SI2168: Resolve unknown chip version errors with different HVR22x5 models

Hi,

Indeed, the HVR-2205 I have works fine with that patch reverted and
after setting REGLEN_0bit for the Si2168 chips in the saa7164-cards.

The chip detection and firmware load is correct now.

[ 2046.684246] si2168 2-0064: found a 'Silicon Labs Si2168-B40'
[ 2046.684278] si2168 2-0064: downloading firmware from file
'dvb-demod-si2168-b40-01.fw'
[ 2049.242810] si2168 2-0064: firmware version: 4.0.11
[ 2049.261896] si2157 0-0060: found a 'Silicon Labs Si2157-A30'
[ 2049.294328] si2157 0-0060: firmware version: 3.0.5

I'll send the patches on to linux-media so Steven can evaluate the
impact on other boards, if any.

Cheers,
-olli
