Finally getting caught up on a bunch of patches from various users I have been dealing with via email. Issued a PULL request tonight, which should make those people happy (as well as everyone else using the effected products)

On a personal note (but perhaps of interest to this crowd), I bought a new LG 42″ television a couple of weeks ago. It actually runs Linux, and includes a serial port and USB port for management. I put in a request for the GPL source code last week, and the request was fulfilled today. I will be doing a diff and seeing if there are any worthwhile gems to merge back into the mainline. For those who might not be aware, LG also makes a series of demodulator chips, so there might be some useful stuff in there (assuming they didn’t do it all in userland).
If they have something public on the s5h1409/11 that would be useful.
However, set-top boxes, ‘though running linux kernel, tends to have tuner & demod code in userland.
Yes, you are correct that this generally the case. No harm in checking though…
