Description Austin Lund 2008-01-09 12:54:39 UTC

(Bug was first reported here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.22/+bug/115284)

In the umt-010 driver the struct umt_properties sets the number of URBs for transfer to 20.  But in dvb-usb.h MAX_NO_URBS_FOR_DATA_STREAM is set to 10.

Not surprisingly this causes an oops for all devices which use the umt-010 chipset when they are inserted.  

Either the .count variable must be decreased or the MAX_NO_URBS_FOR_DATA_STREAM must be increased.  When either is done the oops disappears. 

I don't have a functioning pll_desc for the tuner of my device, so I cannot test the actual results of this change.  But it does avoid a certain kernel oops.
