AF9035 Twinstar has firmware errors

AF9035 Twinstar has firmware errors

[pierigno]

hello,

I've downloaded and compiled against karnel 3.0.0 and kernel 3.4.3 the
latest git tree from antii, branch dvb-usb-pull, and it doesn't
recognize my dual tuner Avermedia Twinstar (af9035 + mxl5007t)
anymore. Here's the logs from dmesg (the compiled modules do not have
any debug parameters to enable):

How can I enable debug parameters in order to provide better
informations? I've compiled as usual using the following command
sequence:

git clone git://linuxtv.org/media_build.git
cd media_build
./build --git git://linuxtv.org/anttip/media_tree.git dvb_usb_pull

It is uses new / current dynamic debugs.

hmm, -22 == -EINVAL. Should look where this is coming from...

I wasn't even aware that is possible. Nice!

It was coming from the remote controller registration when there is no 
keytable defined :/

Maybe best to load RC_MAP_EMPTY from af9035 in case no remote map defined...
rc->map_name = RC_MAP_EMPTY;

Anyhow, I have to look how to resolve that correctly.
