Hi Markus,
Sure! BUT:

you again state that there ar obviously unresolved symbols
caused by my DST deselection patches.

Why then do I not get any? (And I told this Mauro a thousands of times that I do and did not get any)!
And I even sent him dmesg, config and absolutely everything he needs to
a. prove that my patches are OK
b. get deeper into it

But he simply ignored that, like a thesis repeating wall, some oracle, or some parrot!

Perhaps the relevant part of my 2.6.21.1 config will offer
some answer for this crucial question:

I swear I did not even produce ONE unresolved symbol!
I use cx24110, I use CONFIG_DVB_FE_CUSTOMISE=y, I use CONFIG_DVB_BT8XX=m,
I use CONFIG_DVB_CORE_ATTACH=y, AND I use my self built additions like

CONFIG_DVB_DST_CUSTOMISE=y
# CONFIG_DVB_DST is not set
# CONFIG_DVB_DST_CA is not set

And I swear that this dvb-pll.c is completely obsolete for this scenario!
For that reason (old variant):
# CONFIG_DVB_TUNER_LGH06XF is not set

And this old variant was NOT done by Trent Piepho, it was NOT done by Andrew Quincey,
but it was produced by Michael Krufky himself, and I was very thankful for that and still am!

So where the hell do these unresolved symbols come from, if I did not get even ONE????
AND, in so far, how should I correct something whose hidden cause I cannot see, as my
scenario DOES NOT produce any unresolved symbols??

May be your configuration differs from mine, and that is where the pain is!
But please do not waste time if there is no reason for it.

Is it in the end another frontend except the cx24110 whose
activation causes those unresolved symbols?

Are there different frontends in the end except cx24110 that need those dst attachments?

If yes, which frontends are the relevant ones?
See, Markus, either noone knows, or the Manuel Abraham primadonna refuses to answer once again. This is the hopeless situation that I am talking about - incredible!

In so far a very sophisticated team leader who knows about this all in general terms would be a necessity for the personnel @linuxtv.org.

Gerd Knorr was doing that job very fine - I swear I never had any trouble with him! Not even once!
He was communicative, he was technically excellent, he was just incredibly fine!

Now if yes, I always stated that I do not owe a whole bunch of testing cards.

If yes I suppose this whole dvb_attach issue is just another big, buggy and half-boiled chaos.

And why the hell is that dvb-pll.c rollback part of git2 now?
Additionally - with the acknowlegdement of Michael Krufky - incredible!

Cheers and a thousands of thanks for your pain

Uwe
