As usual, detailed descriptions are at the beginning of each patch. Please note that patch "01-DVB-av7110-firmware-removal.diff" now finally removes the firmware blob for the dvb-ttpci driver, so the patch is quite large and has only been sent to you in a separate mail. We're planning to remove the firmware files from other drivers as well. The firmware removal depends on the latest patch by Manuel Estrada Sainz which is currently only in the -mm tree. It fixes firmware_class to use a kernel_thread instead of scheduling a work queue which will freeze the system if you don't use the firmware hotplug systems. I hope it's ok if you apply this cross-subsystem patch this time, I'll write a separate mail to Manuel, too. Please apply. Thanks! Michael.
