[linux-dvb] Re: [PATCH] Skystar2 pid filters reorganization

["Augusto Cardoso" <augusto@carhil.net>]

Hi!

Inserting the register info in the code is a good idea.

The FC chips have a built-in smartcard controller. It needs an external driver to be compatible with the ISO7816. FCII and FCIIB don't have a built-in DES, but they work with an external chip. FCIII has a built-in DVB-DES.

I didn't apply the patches for the 310/314 HW PIDs.
I didn't see any major problems in the code.
My only comment is that there is a "lot of code" between the time the software sets the index in 0x310 and the time it writes to 0x314. The way I understand, this is a potential problem in 2.6.

If you can send me a dump of the FC register, I can try to find what's wrong.
The important registers are:
200 204 208
300 304 308 30c
310 and 314 (Dump of the 32 possible values)
700 704 710 714

Thanks.

	Augusto
