Subject: [PATCH] dvb: fix tuner registration without CONFIG_DVB_NET
Date: Sat, 18 Feb 2012 13:29:29 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4F3FEE09.6070502@teksavvy.com> (raw)

Ever since linux-3.1, my DVB tuners have been non-functional.
This turns out to be due to a bug in with this chunk of code
inside linux/drivers/media/video/videobuf-dvb.c:

        /* register network adapter */
        dvb_net_init(adapter, &dvb->net, &dvb->demux.dmx);
        if (dvb->net.dvbdev == NULL) {
                result = -ENOMEM;
                goto fail_fe_conn;
        }

The problem is, dvb_net_init() doesn't do anything
for the case where CONFIG_DVB_NET is not set.
And the code in videobuf-dvb.c treats this as a fatal error.

The patch below (linux-3.2.6) fixes the regression.
