Re: [PATCH] Support for Legend Silicon LGS8913/LGS8GL5/LGS8GXX China DMB-TH digital demodulator

[Timothy Lee <timothy.lee@siriushk.com>]

Dear Mauro,

I wrote the original lgs8gl5 driver by reverse-engineering my USB TV 
stick using UsbSnoop.

I've been working together with David to make sure his lgs8gxx driver 
works with my TV stick, so yes, the generic driver actually works.  :)

Regards,
Timothy Lee
