From fe15f13679bf52bb5c8acb8b4847e6d73ba62c17 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mike Isely Date: Sat, 30 Aug 2008 18:11:40 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] V4L/DVB (8895): pvrusb2: Fail gracefully if an alien USB ID is used The driver includes an internal table specifying additional information on a per device-type basis. This works great until somebody tries to run-time associate another USB ID with the driver. This change should hopefully allow the driver to fail gracefully under such a circumstance.
