however, i want to pointed out few other problems - they are off-topic
as not related to drivers for Montage chips, but related as far as
we're putting some order and making things in a proper way and those
those things are out of that order:
- there are 2 drivers for the same DVB-S2 tuner: ST 6110, respectively
"stv6110.c" and "stv6110x.c"
- there are 2 drivers for the same DVB-S2 demodulator family:
respectively stv090x* and stv0900*
the above couldn't be more wrong - in fact i can submit patches to
make all drivers that relies on stv090x* and "stv6110.c" to use
stv090x* and "stv6110x.c" instead except the NetUP board, for which in
my opinion someone should submit patches using stv090x* and
"stv6110x.c" and subsequently stv090x* and "stv6110.c" be removed -
to correct a typo: and subsequently stv0900* and "stv6110.c" be removed
unless someone have some real argument why stv090x* and "stv6110.c"
the same: unless someone have some real argument why stv0900* and "stv6110.c"
should stay or even if for why they should replace stv090x* and
"stv6110x.c" and subsequently stv090x* and "stv6110x.c" be removed
instead. so, the case with ST 6110 and STV090x support is the most
frustrating and out of order thing that i can indicate regarding the
support of DVB-S2 chips in the kernel and i hope you will take care as
maintainer to be resolved or at least someone to explain why the
current state is like that - or point me out to explanation if such
was already made to the mailing list. so, what i'm suggesting is
"spring cleaning" of all DVB-S2 tuner/demodulator drivers in the
kernel - if it's not done now in the future the mess will only
increase.
