Igor,

First off, it looks like these devices are analog-only, so it would be more appropriate to send this to the video4linux mailing list (cc added)

The patch is large, so I chopped it from the email.  For those interested, please see the original email:

http://linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2007-September/020256.html

Secondly, your patch introduces broken whitespace all over.  Tabs should be used for leading spacing, not a series of spaces.

We prefer for new cards to be added to the end of the card array-- not dispersed randomly throughout.

It looks like your large patch includes work from multiple contributors, based on the different names that I see commented within the card array additions.

You did not provide a sign-off on your work.  You should probably also collect sign-off's from those other developers involved in this work.

For more information on sign-off, and patch submissions to the v4l/dvb projects in general, please see:

http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb/file/tip/README.patches

The preferred method would be to clone the latest version of the repository from linuxtv.org, apply your patch to that tree, test it, and then generate a new diff as follows:

hg diff > new.patch

Then, send in that new patch to the mailing lists.

Again, when you send in the new patch with sign-offs , please be sure to include the video4linux mailing list:

Linux and Kernel Video <video4linux-list at redhat.com>

Cheers,

Mike Krufky
