[RFCv2 PATCH 1/1] hdpvr: fix interrupted recording

[RFCv2 PATCH 1/1] hdpvr: fix interrupted recording

[Jonathan Sims]

This is a reworking of a patch originally submitted by Ryley Angus, modified by Hans Verkuil and then seemingly forgotten before changes suggested by Keith Pyle here:

http://linux-media.vger.kernel.narkive.com/vkxuOKwi/patch-hdpvr-fix-interrupted-recording#post3

were made and tested.

I have implemented the suggested changes and have been testing for the last 2 months. I am no longer experiencing lockups while recording (with blue light on, requiring power cycling) which had been a long standing problem with the HD-PVR. I have not noticed any other problems since applying the patch.
