Hi!
I noticed that the tuner is getting initialized twice in the
recent kernels (now that it is working again) when compiled
into the kernel.
Besides the call through the module_init(), it is started
through
partition_setup() [ fs/partitions/check.c ]
=> device_init() [ drivers/block/genhd.c ]
=> chr_device_init() [ drivers/char/mem.c ]
=> videodev_init() [ drivers/char/videodev.c]
=> tuner_init_module()[ drivers/char/tuner.c ]
Why the heck should the tuner get initialized through
a function called partition_setup() ???
Just removing the call solves this particular problem
(see below), but the thinko is probably still there
in other drivers.
For example in i2c-old.c, both tuner_init_module()
and msp3400_init_module() are called as well,
but I could not verify this as an error, since
I don't use it.
