Yeah, don't use the s5h1409, you're wasting your time.

Wow, is this how the attach code inside the dibcom driver really looks? Eek.

Hi Jernej,

The s5h1409 is a different beast to the s5h1411, so you're wasting your 
time trying to make that work.

That being said, I'm kinda surprised you're having i2c scan issues. I 
don't work with the dibcom src so maybe that's a true limitation of the 
part, or maybe something else is just plain broken on your design.

Googling/searching the mailing list, or reading the wiki's at 
linuxtv.org might show a reason why I2C scanning isn't supported.

In terms og the GPIO's, you'll need to understand which GPIO the xc5000 
tuner is attached to (because the xc5000 needs to toggle this). You 
might also need to drive other gpio's to bring the tuner, demod or any 
other parts out of reset - and able to respond to i2c commands. I tend 
to add /* comments */ around the GPIO code for each product detailing 
any gpio's I know (or suspect), which helps other devs maintain the code 
later in it's life.

Maybe you could make some progress with understanding why I2C scanning 
doesn't work, and perhaps dig deeping and try to establish which gpio's 
are connected to what.

With these two things, and a s5h1411 driver we should be able to get 
support for this product pretty easily.

Regards,

- Steve
