Not linuxtv.org or OSS code, missing license, so considered *Realtek proprietary* as default license by (c) law.

Ask the maintainers to ask Realtek if they like to have it GPL'd so we can add, improve and maintain it.

Do not distribute patches for it over this list or forums until license status is cleared.

must be other device You've seen, possibly EEPROM/Regulator.

Add this USB-ID to the driver and try your luck.

If the frontend tuner is not detected automatically, assign it manually in the source code.
