[linux-dvb] QAM_128 with Nexus-CA/TT (stv0297-based)

[Patrick Boettcher]

Hi,

while investigating the QAM_128-issue with the stv0297-driver for the 
Cablestar (which is not the same as the one in dvb-kernel CVS, yet), I 
fixed it, not by increasing the timeout, but by disabling the 
corner-detection for QAM_128 and higher.

Could all of you, who had the problems with QAM_128, please try the 
attached patch to an unmodified stv0297 and report any successes or 
problems?

Thanks in advance,
Patrick.
