Hi Hartmut and Hermann,

Yes, this patch has already been implemented in my saa7134-core.c, only 
differences are line numbers:

line 963      int mask;

line 1164    if (card(dev).gpiomask != 0) {
                            mask = card(dev).gpiomask;
                            saa_andorl(SAA7134_GPIO_GPMODE0 >> 2,   
mask, mask);
                            saa_andorl(SAA7134_GPIO_GPSTATUS0 >> 2, 
mask, 0);


Regards,
Tim
