Subject: Re: Bug 205201 - overflow of DMA mask and bus mask

Hello Christoph,

I have found the issue. :-)

GFP_DMA32 was renamed to GFP_DMA in the PowerPC updates 4.21-1 in 
December last year.

Some PCI devices still use GFP_DMA32 (grep -r GFP_DMA32 *). I renamed 
GFP_DMA32 to GFP_DMA in the file 
"drivers/media/v4l2-core/videobuf-dma-sg.c". After compiling the RC7 of 
kernel 5.4 my TV card works again.

Cheers,
Christian
