Instead of this series, a different patchset was accepted, although
Antti raised concerns about at least 2 of the 3 patches accpeted, more
specifically the si2157 patch contains some bogus initialization code,
and the T230C support were better added to the dvbsky driver instead of
cxusb.

Kind regards,

Stefan

Patch set looks good. I ordered that device and it arrived yesterday. I
will handle that during 2 weeks - it is now skiing holiday and I am at
France alps whole next week. So just wait :)

Sorry, I likely missed those comments when reviewed the patch series.

As the applied series won't cause regressions, as all init code seem
specific to the new tuner, I won't be reverting the patchsets, but
wait for Antti to be able to do a deeper look on it.

Please submit a patch removing the bogus init code, for Antti's
review.

IMHO, the better here would be to merge both drivers into one, as they
seem to be doing very similar stuff. So, I can't find a good reason
why we should keep both drivers upstream. As dvbsky uses dvb-usb-v2,
the best would be to move the board-specific code from cxusb into
the dvbsky driver, and drop the cxusb driver.

Feel free to submit such patch too.

"Merging" the drivers comes down to reverting the patch to cxusb, and instead
applying Patch 3 from my series. I won't port support for any other stick, as
I lack the hardware for testing.

@Annti - hope you enjoyed skiing, did you have time for looking into the
issue?

Kind regards,

Stefan
