For this one we implemented an alternative. See here:

http://git.linuxtv.org/pb/media_tree.git?a=commit;h=16b54de2d8b46e48c5c8bdf9b350eac04e8f6b46

which I pushed, but obviously forgot to send the pull-request.

This is done now.

For the second patch I will incorperate it as soon as I find the time.

best regards,
