It makes sense if - the dbox2 core code gets merged into mainline, which is our goal, but can take a huge amount of time. - someone rips off the frontend module of a dbox2 and puts it on his PCI DVB card because this Atmel chip rocks so much :-) It will require only very few changes to the PCI driver... - or a company decides to use this chip on their brand new DVB-C device and john doe decides to write a Linux driver for it. He will then notice that there is already a driver for the frontend module and can therefore save a lot of work. > Something different: > The atmel at76c651 frontend driver is specific to the MPC823 > architecture? no.
