[PATCHv4] [media] saa7164: use an MSI interrupt when available

From: Brendan McGrath
Date: Fri Mar 13 2015 - 23:28:23 EST


Enhances driver to use an MSI interrupt when available.

Adds the module option 'enable_msi' (type bool) which by default is
enabled. Can be set to 'N' to disable.

Fixes (or can reduce the occurrence of) a crash which is most commonly
reported when both digital tuners of the saa7164 chip is in use. A reported example can
be found here:

Changes since v3:
- fixes a conflict with a commit (3f845f3c4cf4) made to the media_tree after v3 was created (only the unified context has been changed)
- corrected comments to reflect that the reported incident occured more commonly when multiple tuners were in use (not multiple saa7164 chips as previously stated)
