Background, we in the multimedia list are in the process of improving the 
tuner detection code due mostly to the ever increasing proliferation of
bt848/tuners . So far we have identified a popular bt848 vendor 
Hauppauge who stores its configuration information in an eeprom over the 
couple of weeks we engaged in decoding the eeprom and so far we have been
successful. This was an important step for detecting the known
good  configurations helps reduce the search space for bt848/tuners.


Prior to that I send out a general query to attempt 
to identify the basic characteristics of the cards and I am compiling
a small database of bt848 / tuner cards -- in the mean time any
code dealing with tuner detection addition/deletion has been frozen by
me till I get a better handle on the proper identification of the 
bt848/tuner cards.

I have a basic question, can any committer or so called "core" tramp over
any code in the tree specially if they are not the author/mantainer of the
code? PHK's e-mail seems to imply that is the case.
