Hi Jim,

Thanks for reporting it.

There was a hard to track issue there that started to appear after
changeset 7b34be71db53 (and a few similar ones), but was actually
caused by a much older issue. In summary: while before that changeset
the tree builds with random configs, the compiled media drivers won't
work under certain conditions[1].

This got fixed on this changeset:
	http://git.linuxtv.org/media_tree.git/commit/bb69ee27b96110c509d5b92c9ee541d81a821706

[1] This is not as serious as it seems, because those random configs
don't make much sense by a normal user, and no distro uses those weird
configs. The error happens when:
	- the main driver is builtin;
	- the tuner and/or driver is module;
	- CONFIG_MEDIA_ATTACH is not set

When CONFIG_MEDIA_ATTACH is enabled, the main driver will load the needed
modules before calling the needed module attach functions.

I'm sending a pull request with this patch (plus a few other fixes) in a few.
