Greg:

I didn't directly answer your question here because I had figured it was
answered in a previous post on this thread, that Mike Krufky had already
explicitly asked that it be queued (and added his Reviewed-By tag), and
that I figured it best not to add yet more noise to an already noisy
group.

However now I see that this patch didn't get into 2.6.27.3. It's a
pretty important fix; without it the pvrusb2 driver is worse than
useless (unless one adds initusbreset=0 as a module option).

My POV for this process in the past is that I generate a stable fix at
linuxtv.org, ensure that Mike Krufky and Mauro see the incoming change,
and then it gets into the next stable release. This is what I thought I
did here, but the results are different - 2.6.27.3 still has the driver
in a totally broken state. Quite likely I missed something that caused
the fix not to be pulled. Is there anything I can do to ensure this get
into 2.6.27.4?

-Mike
