Hi all
After some time trying to see what the problem is, I have found it is
not come the RF signal.
I've gone back using a 3.2 kernel, after doing a couple of tests, the
board works :-)
When I try to apply these changes to a 3.4 or later kernel does not tune
plate.
Between 3.2 and 3.4 kernel there are several changes to the drivers:
CX23885, xc5000 and mb86a20s. I tried to cancel several of them on a 3.4
kernel, but I can not make the card tune.
If you know already that the breakage happened between 3.2 and 3.4, the better
is to use git bisect to discover what patch broke it.
Mauro Thanks for the suggestion.
This weekend I have some time and I'll study how to implement it.
I guess it's do something similar to:
~ $ git clone git://linuxtv.org/media_build.git
~ $ cd media_build
~/media_build $./build --main-git
~/media_build $ cd media
~/media $ gedit drivers/media/video/foo.c
~/media $ make -C ../v4l
~/media $ make -C ../ install
~/media $ make -C .. rmmod
~/media $ modprobe foo
You can do (using Linus git tree):
git checkout v3.4
git bisect bad
git checkout good v3.2
Where is the git tree of Linus in <git://git.kernel.org/> or
<git://linuxtv.org/>?
Thanks again,
Alfredo
git bisect will then do a binary search between those two kernels. All you
have to do is to recompile the Kernel and test it. Then you'll tag the
changeset as "bad" or "good", until the end of the search. In general, you'll
discover the changeset responsible for the breakage after a few (8-10)
interactions.
For more reference, you can take a look, for example, at:

PS.: Someone should fix our wiki, as it is still pointing to hg bisect,
instead of pointing to git bisect.
The changes I have applied to kernel 3.2 are:
