Hauppauge HVR-930C

I tried a daily snapshot (2011-01-24) with this stick. And I'm getting 
these kind of errors in the log:

[43665.769571] drxk: SCU_RESULT_INVPAR while sending cmd 0x0203 with params:
[43665.769857] drxk: 02 00 00 00 10 00 07 00 03 02                    
..........

First I tried the driver with the firmware that is downloaded with the 
get_firmware script. The adapter and frontends was registered properly 
but I did not get any TS from the stick. I then renamed the firmware 
file and the driver complained about missing firmware but stick started 
working anyway. So the drxk in my version of the card has a rom with 
microcode in it.

So things that would be nice to have is:

A log output that the drxk actually loaded the firmware file. Right now 
there is only log output when there is no firmware file detected.
Maybe add a log that the card might work without the drxk firmware.
Silence the SCU_RESULT_INVPAR debug output by default or find out what 
is causing the error messages.

This is just due to firmware differences. Yeah, a cleanup on these is needed.

This is not uncommon. The uploaded firmware should be, in thesis, better than
the one already on it.

Are you testing it with DVB-C or DVB-T (or with both)? Here, DVB-C works properly
on HVR-930C.

Feel free to submit a patch for drxk_hard.c.
