Cablestar DVB-C (Flexcop + stv0297) broken since changeset 7fb12d754061 (7469)
Hi,
according to the thread
http://www.vdr-portal.de/board/thread.php?threadid=76932
in vdr-portal, the modifications of the flexcop i2c handling in changeset 7fb12d754061 (7469) broke support for the Cablestar card.
Note that stv0297 does not support repeated start conditions (same problem as with s5h1420).

So we have broken support for at least three cards now. (Technotrend 2400 and Hauppauge Noba-S-SE with s5h1420 frontend doesn`t work any longer ,too. See
http://linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2008-August/028249.html)In my opinion it is not acceptable to break support for three cards in the v4l-dvb main tree to get one other card supported.
I strongly request to revert the changeset until a working solution for all cards has been tested.
We need to separate the things:
1) breakage of stv0297-based cards
This was a mistake - I'm still trying to see which atomic modification causes that.... Should be a 3-liner to fix it, but where...
2) s5h1420-based cards
I modified it to support a new card - right. I published the patch and ask for owners of the NOVA-S SE to test it. After not receiving a comment from anyone Mauro agreed to integrate it and wait if it breaks for someone. I agree this is not the smoothest/nicest way, but what else could I have done to move forward?
Blindly reverting now would push me back where I was 6 months ago :(. But I totally agree with this idea when someone of you NOVA-S SE owners gives me a hand in order to test a possibly fixed patch. ;)
Patrick.

Hi again,
I just pushed patch to my hg repository which fixes the s5h1420-support for other cards than the flexcop-based ones.
I will ask Mauro to pull right now.
Patrick.
