Michael Hunold is somewhat busy with his new job at Toshiba, so I want to takeover patch submission for now. However, one thing that makes it difficult to create kernel patches from linuxtv.org CVS is that there are a large number of whitespace differences between the kernel tree and CVS. There's also some corrupted indentation in the kernel, e.g. drivers/media/dvb/frontends/tda1004x.c:tda1004x_sleep(). I wanted to get this issue out of the way before I start to submit other patches from linuxtv.org CVS. I merged some whitespace cleanups from the kernel into CVS, and created a patch to clean up whitespace in the kernel, removing lots of whitespace at end-of-line in the go. The problem with this patch is that it is huge (600K) :-(. I was crazy enough to mail it to Linus anyway on Sunday, and it looks like it got dropped on the floor :-(( It would be nice if I could get some advice how to submit this kind of cleanup (i.e. if I should split it up in tiny fragments), or if I should ignore the issue for now and concentrate on functional improvements. The DVB related patches submitted by Gerd are non-controversial and should be applied.
