[linux-dvb] AverMedia USB DVB-T Volar

[Jose Carlos Garcia Sogo]

Changing IDs, as Eduardo Bellido suggested in his mail, makes the device
to be detected, but firmware cannot be loaded:

Jun 18 00:38:47 gimli kernel: dvb-usb: downloading firmware from file
'dvb-usb-avertv-a800-02.fw'
Jun 18 00:38:47 gimli kernel: dvb-usb: could not stop the USB controller
CPU.
Jun 18 00:38:47 gimli kernel: dvb-usb: error while transferring firmware
(transferred size: -32, block size: 16)
Jun 18 00:38:47 gimli kernel: dvb-usb: firmware download failed at 21
with -22
Jun 18 00:38:47 gimli kernel: dvb_usb_a800: probe of 4-3:1.0 failed with
error -22

  It seems that a new firmware is also needed to make this stick work.
  The changes I have made are not compatible with normal a800 driver work,
as I have changed defaut IDs. The diff is:
