You are an experienced kernel developer. If you still fail to see that
after so many years, sorry, I can't help you.

> Did you identify any problem?

Read it again, it's in the line you skipped in this reply.

> With what application?
I would be willing to spend more time on this and test this critical
patch (like I already did in the past).
But I don't have access to analog TV here at the moment, sorry. It would
have to wait ~2 weeks.

My fault. I shouldn't have wasted any time on reviewing your patch.

Regards,
Frank
