This Ooops is happening in i2c-core.c:i2c_transfer():
int i2c_transfer(struct i2c_adapter *adap, struct i2c_msg *msgs, int
num)
{
unsigned long orig_jiffies;
int ret, try;
[...]
if (adap->algo->master_xfer) { <---- Ooops is here. "adap" is
bad
The value for "adap" is in register RDI: 0000000000000002, and that is
not a valid pointer. There is a bug in dib7000p.c somewhere.
Do a 'hg log -v -p linux/drivers/media/dvb/frontends/dib7000p.c | less'
to see what might have changed.
That's about all I can do to help with this particular hardware.
Regards,
Andy
