I don't think so. The odds are to small that someone has a sparc, a
dvb card and wants to do kernel hacking.
The driver works on PPC, so there shouldn't be any endianess related
problems. Are you using the Sparc in 64 bit mode? This could cause
some trouble.

Could you describe the problems you fixed and those that you still have?
