Some background:

firedtv is a driver for a series of DVB boxes and cards which are
attached through FireWire.  The driver has already been in use by
enthusiasts during the last ~half year and has been exposed in
linux-next for several months.

The ieee1394 core changes which accompany the driver are rather
peripheral and have been in successful testing for months too.  For
these changes, this DVB driver was taken through the linux1394-2.6.git
tree rather than the DVB tree.

The final review posting of the driver a week ago at
http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/2/16/270 has been
Acked-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@...hat.com>

Still to do:
  - Make it also work with firewire-core alternatively to the older
    ieee1394 core.  (50% done)
  - Support the new DVB S2API.
  - Broader exposure to users will surely bring up one or the other
    issue although it works fine here. :-)

Changes since last week's review:
  - msecs_to_jiffies fixlet suggested by Mauro,
  - reenable verbose logging option (recommended to me by Henrik)
  - small Kconfig fix for CONFIG-INPUT=m, folded into the history for
    100% bisectability,
  - FireDTV S2 frontend info fixlet,
  - collapsed more than 50 baby-step cleanup commits written by me into
    fewer commits.  The old history is still available in
    linux1394-2.6.git's firedtv branch.

Thanks,
