V4L/DVB: ivtv: Add firmare monitoring and debug mode to ignore firmware problems
>From Ian's e-mail:
When a device is opened the firmware state will be checked. If it isn't
responding then the open will fail with -EIO. Due to the nature of the
hardware, a single failed check will block everything since we don't know
exactly what has failed. A side effect of this is the blocking of debug
access, so an additional debug level has been created which allows the block
to be bypassed.
Andy Walls' modifications:
I modified Ian's patch to add a separate fw_debug module parameter to change
the driver's behavior, as opposed to using the normal debug module parameter.
The fw_debug module parameter is only available when CONFIG_VIDEO_ADV_DEBUG
is set.
I also made some minor whitespace adjustments and changed some warning
messages to be a bit more specific. s/happy/glad/g
