Subject: Re: [v4l-dvb-maintainer] [GIT PATCHES] V4L/DVB updates

Hi,

I have tested these patches with:

Freecom DVB-T dongle
Pluto2 pcmcia card
Leadtek WinFast DTV dongle 1st generation
Leadtek WinFast DTV dongle 2nd generation

These are 4 different devices with 4 different hw and modules.
All works. Please apply.

Michal
