saa716x driver

Hi.

I have a card named "AverMedia TV Hybrid Speedy PCI-E" and I'm tryiing to make it working under linux. I've found the drivers at

http://jusst.de/hg/saa716x/

The drivers hangs on loading, this is the output:

saa716x_pci_init (0): found a Avermedia H788 PCIe card SAA716x Hybrid 0000:03:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17 SAA716x Hybrid 0000:03:00.0: setting latency timer to 64

this repeats many times, modprobe hangs for a few minutes

I've also tried various int_type values but with no success. After some experiments, I've found that reverting patches "Fix BUS ordering" and "Fix swapped I2C buses" fixed the hang during module loading, now it the output is:

After that, there are created some device nodes in /dev/dvb/adapter0 (demux0, dvr0, net0) but no frontend device node. It looks like the drivers are not yet fully working. Is there a chance that the card will be usable under linux?
