Bug 581450 – v4l-dvb-saa716x-0.~20141109-r2 with kernel 4.5.2: doesn't compile?

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description harry broeken 2016-04-28 14:32:37 UTC]

Couldn't compile v4l-dvb-saa716x with kernel 4.5.2.; after which I couldn't use my satellite pci-card. I got it compiled after creating two patches; as a kind of temporal solution; it seems to work this way for my setup. It probably has 
something to do with changes in definitions in the kernel, I am not sure to which versions this aplies after 4.2.
Added epatch "${FILESDIR}/pci.patch"
      epatch "${FILESDIR}/ff_main.patch"
to the src_prepare() in the ebuild. pci.patch includes processor-definitions and
ff_main.pathc deals with a change in dvd_register_device; where I use 1 for the number of demux-sinks (I do not know if this is correct; but it seems to work).


Reproducible: Always
