A new pvrusb2 driver snapshot is available. The driver changes are:
(+) Fix compilation issue in pvrusb2-devattr.c for kernels older
than 2.6.31. An earlier tweak there relies on a struct change
that only appears in kernel 2.6.31 (or v4l-dvb). Conditionalize
the change appropriate to the environment.
(+) Enable DVB usage in the standalone driver when compiling under
kernels 2.6.26 or later. Previously this was only enabled when
building against v4l-dvb. Without this change, support for the
digital side of the HVR-1950/HVR-1900 would have been missing.
Several people have gotten hit by this but I had failed to
realize the root cause - that the DVB portions of the pvrusb2
driver were simply disabled - until now. D'Oh!!!
For some IDIOT reason I had CONFIG_VIDEO_PVRUSB2_DVB disabled when
building the standalone driver - effectively killing the ability to
use the digital side of the HVR-1950/1900. This error was specific to
the standalone driver - the code itself was correct but the build
configuration was fouled up. This has been the case ever since
HVR-1950 was made available. Once I fixed this I immediately hit
several compilation issues (one configuration related, the other due
to a 2.6.31-specific change), also fixed now.
