hmm... I don't think we need those debug messages on normal cases. Also, we want the log
shown as:
saa7134: <foo>
and not as:
saa7134 <foo>

Gah. A message like that should really specify the dev->name, and the board.

The order change for the demod probe will likely break support for other boards.
If the problem is specific to Medion 7134, what you should do, instead, is to
change the order just for MD7134 (so, inside the switch(dev->board)).

Cheers,
Mauro.

I added this message because when the gate was left closed the eeprom content (printed out unconditionally in saa7134_i2c_eeprom) looks garbled in dmesg,
so it's better to inform user that he (or she) shouldn't be worried about this.
The eeprom dump is called from saa7134_i2c_register, before card-specific code has opportunity to run.

It was done in that order (tuner first then tda9887) for a long time before it was changed.
For example ( http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=blob;f=drivers/media/video/saa7134/saa7134-core.c;hb=7a766f9ddd74b50d6069f054a3004ece0439f5c1 ) it used to look like that:
942 /* load i2c helpers */
943 if (TUNER_ABSENT != dev->tuner_type)
944 request_module("tuner");
945 if (dev->tda9887_conf)
946 request_module("tda9887");
947 if (card_is_empress(dev)) {
948 request_module("saa6752hs");
949 request_module_depend("saa7134-empress",&need_empress);
950 }

But then the code for tda9887 was integrated into tuner module and later split out again, this time reversing the detection order (by accident I suppose).
