Yeah, this isn;t a PCIe product, it's a USB product, so the 
cx23885/xc3028 tree isn;t going to help you.

mkrufky has a working tda18271 driver, the 7136 decoder is already 
supported as-is the cypress fx usb controller, so you might be in with a 
chance.

Personally, I don't knw much about our USB v4l trees, or whether it will 
be simple enough to add (atleast analog) support. Looks like digital 
might be done via the AF9013, but that's a guess and I'm not familiar 
with it, I think this is an Auvitek part.

Can anyone else confirm or help.
