Hello Mike,

My PCI TV card works also with your patch! Before I had to add "#include 
<asm/dma.h>" to the file "arch/powerpc/platforms/85xx/corenet_generic.c" 
because of the following error:

------

   CC      arch/powerpc/platforms/85xx/corenet_generic.o
   CC      ipc/util.o
   CC      ipc/msgutil.o
arch/powerpc/platforms/85xx/corenet_generic.c: In function 
‘corenet_gen_setup_arch’:

mean ‘cpu_to_phys_id’?

After that I was able to compile the latest Git kernel with your patch.

Thanks,
Christian
