Hauppauge WinTV HVR 900 (M/R 65018/B3C0) doesn't work anymore since linux 3.6.6

Hello,
I have posted a bug report here :
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50361 and I have been told to send it to the ML too.

The commit causing the bug has been pushed to kernel between linux-3.5 and linux-3.6.

Here is my bug summary :

The WinTV HVR900 DVB-T usb stick has stopped working in Linux 3.6.6. The tuner fails at tuning and no DVB channel can be watched.

Reverting the commit 3de9e9624b36263618470c6e134f22eabf8f2551 fixes the problem
and the tuner can tune again. It still seems there is some delay between the moment when the USB stick is plugged and when it can tune : running dvbscan too
fast makes the first channels tuning fail but after several seconds it tunes perfectly.

Don't hesitate to ask me for additional debug.

Does this also fail on Linus's tree? If so, this patch should be reverted from there too.

Hello,
sorry for the late reply, I finally compiled fresh Linus' tree and did a fast test : it seems to work. I will now try to find the commit that made it work so you can maybe commit it in the stable branch?
