PATCH 2/7 V4L: pvrusb2: Fix video corruption on stream start

From: Mike Isely <[email protected]>

Subject: [PATCH] V4L: pvrusb2: Fix video corruption on stream start

This introduces some extra cx23416 commands when streaming is started. The addition of these commands fix random sporadic video corruption that can take place when the video stream is temporarily disrupted through loss of signal (e.g. changing the channel in the RF tuner).

This fix is already in the upstream driver source and has proven itself there; this is a backport for the 2.6.20.y kernel series.

(backported from commit 6fe7d2c4660174110c6872cacc4fc2acb6e00acf)
