not a kernel bug, this is a rivatv bug Ok, the issue I see here is that the suggested patch activates code based on kernel version rather then i2c version. Or rather rivatv makes this decesion based on data not neccessarily authorative. I fear that doing this will break it for people running the current stable gentoo kernels. I will see if I can come up with a way to do better detection of the i2c version but I don't have a lot of time to devote to this and I no longer have this hardware in my posession. Basically this *is* a kernel issue where someone put incompatible code to that version into the kernel train. Since it is an exception there is no clean way to fix this. I suggest you use a normal kernel instead... |
