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.

Greets,
Martin
