The dvbdev patch is pretty important, fixes a horrible problem, although the case for it to occur is rare. The other two patches are of the "obviously correct - minimal change" type. If it isnt too much trouble, then yes, it is worth it to push a new release because of the dvbdev patch. However, please chop the "backported from" and "cherry picked from" lines from those patches. I cherry-picked them from Mauro's tree, but he wiped it out and re-pushed those changes in before Linus merged them.... so, the actual changesets in Linus' tree have different hashes. (i removed those old hashes from the patches that I posted on linuxtv.org) As for the 2.6.20.y patches, should I email those to you inline or can you just grab them from the linuxtv.org www server?
