Well, if you want to go for the power management stuff I suggest you have a look at drivers/base/ and Documentation/power/ + Documentation/driver-model/. The av7110 firmware reloading stuff (for ARM crash recovery) in dvb_ttpci is broken anyway (Oopses most of the time), mayby it can get fixed while you're at it ;-) Other sutff: There's a warning at module load time which needs to be taken care of: Dec 16 21:29:30 heck vmunix: videodev: "av7110" has no release callback. Please fix your driver for proper sysfs support And I suspect that there is stuff missing for udev support (2.6's devfs replacement). BTW: Last time I tested 2.6 on my laptop USB power management was broken, too. You better check that essential parts of your system work with power mgmt. before you try to fix DVB.
