Mauro, what do we do here? The merge window is open and I can't send my
I2C pull request unless the above issue is fixed. I see two options:

1) This patch gets fast-tracked into the media-tree (or I can pick it
into my I2C tree if you are fine with that)

2) I pick the intermediate fix from David Miller in linux-next into my
tree, but I'd need your ack for this patch (can be given here):

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next.git/commit/drivers/media/dvb-frontends/tua6100.c?id=621ccc6cc5f8d6730b740d31d4818227866c93c9

Kind regards,

   Wolfram
