The first case is for writing APDU data in the function of "dvb_ca_en50221_io_write" at source/drivers/media/dvb-core/ dvb_ca_en50221.c. The second case is for writing the host link buf size on the Command Register in the function of "dvb_ca_en50221_link_init" at source/drivers/media/dvb-core/dvb_ca_en50221.c. In the second case, there exists a bug like following. In the function of the "dvb_ca_en50221_link_init", after a TV host calculates the host link buf_size, the TV host writes the calculated host link buf_size on the Size Register. Accroding to the en50221 Spec (the page 60 of https://dvb.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/En50221.V1.pdf), before this writing operation, the "SW(CMDREG_SW)" flag in the Command Register should be set. We can see this setting operation in the function of the "dvb_ca_en50221_link_init" like below. ... if ((ret = ca->pub->write_cam_control(ca->pub, slot, CTRLIF_COMMAND, IRQEN | CMDREG_SW)) != 0) return ret; ... But, after that, the real writing operation is implemented using the function of the "dvb_ca_en50221_write_data" in the function of "dvb_ca_en50221_link_init", and the "dvb_ca_en50221_write_data" includes the function of "ca->pub->write_cam_control", and the function of the "ca->pub->write_cam_control" in the function of the "dvb_ca_en50221_wrte_data" does not include "CMDREG_SW" flag like below. ... if ((status = ca->pub->write_cam_control(ca->pub, slot, CTRLIF_COMMAND, IRQEN | CMDREG_HC)) != 0) ... In the above source code, we can see only the "IRQEN | CMDREG_HC", but we cannot see the "CMDREG_SW". The "CMDREG_SW" flag which was set in the function of the "dvb_ca_en50221_link_init" was rollbacked by the follwoing function of the "dvb_ca_en50221_write_data". This is a bug. and this bug causes that the calculated host link buf_size is not properly written in the CI module. Through this patch, we fix this bug.
