[linux-dvb] alps_tdlb7 broken in current dvb-kernel

[Juri Haberland <juri@koschikode.com>]

Hi,

I'm resending this, because I didn't get any answer from a developer.

In current dvb-kernel the alps_tdlb7 doesn't work anymore. It loads
without a problem, but tuning fails:

# /usr/src/DVB/apps/szap/tzap -a0 -r K44
using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'
tuning to 658000000 Hz

FE_HAS_LOCK
status 00 | signal 0000 | snr b7fd | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 |

It seems that the transition to kernel-i2c is responsible for this
problem - I even found a corresponding entry from Michael Hunold in the
cvs commit log:

> - convert to kernel i2c
> - firmware upload works, but access to the sp5659 tuner module fails
> (so no tuning) (maybe my card is broken... 8-(

Can any of the developers look into this?

Thanks,
Juri
