Hi Jemma,

I'm with you: let's get merged at least something!

Did you find  a maintainer for this driver?
I can do simple stuff like in my fork of Soeren Moch's repo, but thats 
where it ends. I dont have the knowledge needed to maintain a driver.

I think that your proposal to use a stripped version of Luis Alves repo 
is a no go, since it contains a couple of demod/tuner drivers that are 
not upstreamed yet. That complicates the upstreaming process too much, I 
think.

I used a stripped version of Soeren Moch's repo to prove its stability 
instead, adding the drivers I need so I can test it. You can see what I 
did at : https://github.com/bas-t/linux-saa716x/commits/for-media-stripped

This has been tested with linux 4.9.77, 4.14.14 and 4.15-rc8.
Works like a charm for me.
