V4L/DVB (12118): pvrusb2: Fix hardware scaling when used with cx25840
The cx25840 module requires that its VBI initialization entry point be called in order for hardware-scaled video capture to work properly - even if we don't care about VBI. Making this behavior even more subtle is that if the capture resolution is set to 720x480 - which is the default that the pvrusb2 driver sets up - then the cx25840 bypasses the hardware scaler. Therefore this problem does not manifest itself until some other resolution, e.g. 640x480, is tried. MythTV typically defaults to 640x480 or 480x480, which means that things break whenever the driver is used with MythTV. This all has been known for a while (since at least Nov 2006), but recent changes in the pvrusb2 driver (specifically in regards to sub-device support) caused this to break again. VBI initialization must happen *after* the chip's firmware is loaded, not before. With this fix, 24xxx devices work correctly again. A related fix that is part of this changeset is that now we re-initialize VBI any time after we issue a reset to the cx25840 driver. Issuing a chip reset erases the state that the VBI setup previously did. Until the HVR-1950 came along this subtlety went unnoticed, because the pvrusb2 driver previously never issued such a reset. But with the HVR-1950 we have to do that reset in order to correctly transition from digital back to analog mode - and since the HVR-1950 always starts in digital mode (required for the DVB side to initialize correctly) then this device has never had a chance to work correctly in analog mode! Analog capture on the HVR-1950 has been broken this *ENTIRE* time. I had missed it until now because I've usually been testing at the default 720x480 resolution which does not require scaling... What fun. By re-initializing VBI after a cx25840 chip reset, correct behavior is restored. Signed-off-by: Mike Isely <isely@pobox.com> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@redhat.com>
