IR RC fixes:
- EVIOCSKEYCODE is not supported by this driver, fix potential crash
  when it is used by not setting rc_input_dev->keycodesize
- fix key repeat handling (hopefully)
- reduce default poll internal to 50msec (necessary for key repeat handling)

e2efeab26b [PATCH] dvb: usb: cxusb: fixes for new firmware
This patch changes two things:

1) a firmware update made by the vendor, which has to be done in Windows
   for now, changes the DVB-data-pipe from isochronous to bulk: it fixes the
   data distortions (and thus the video-distortions) in DVB-T mode; there is
   no backwards compatibility with the old firmware as it didn't work anyway

2) with the help of Steve Toth some reverse-engineered functionality is now
   named correctly, thank you

80e27e2061 [PATCH] dvb: frontend: or51132: remove bogus optimization attempt
This fix has also been applied to lgdt330x.  There is an optimization that
keeps track of the frequency tuned by the digital decoder.  The digital driver
does not set the frequency if it has not changed since it was tuned.  The
analog tuner driver knows nothing about the frequency saved by the digital
driver.  When the frequency is set using the video4linux code with tvtime, the
hardware get changed but the digital driver's state does not get updated.
Switch back to the same digital channel and the driver finds no change in
frequency so the tuner is not reset to the digital frequency.  The work around
is to remove the check and always set the tuner to the specified frequency.

593cbf3dcb [PATCH] dvb: frontend: stv0297: QAM128 tuning improvement
while investigating the QAM_128-issue with the stv0297-driver for the
Cablestar (which is not the same as the one in dvb-kernel CVS, yet), I fixed
it, not by increasing the timeout, but by disabling the corner-detection for
QAM_128 and higher.

This patch has been tested on dvb-kernel cvs, and has been reported to work by
multiple users.  Some cards still need timeout increase on top of this patch.
This will be addressed later.

59f4e7d572 [PATCH] fix reboot via keyboard controller reset
I have a system (Biostar IDEQ210M mini-pc with a VIA chipset) which will
not reboot unless a keyboard is plugged in to it.  I have tried all
combinations of the kernel "reboot=x,y" flags to no avail.  Rebooting by
any method will leave the system in a wedged state (at the "Restarting
system" message).

I finally tracked the problem down to the machine's refusal to fully reboot
unless the keyboard controller status register had bit 2 set.  This is the
"System flag" which when set, indicates successful completion of the
keyboard controller self-test (Basic Assurance Test, BAT).

I suppose that something is trying to protect against sporadic reboots
unless the keyboard controller is in a good state (a keyboard is present),
but I need this machine to be headless.

I found that setting the system flag (via the command byte) before giving
the "pulse reset line" command will allow the reboot to proceed.  The patch
is simple, and I think it should be fine for everybody whether they have
this type of machine or not.  This affects the "hard" reboot (as done when
the kernel boot flags "reboot=c,h" are used).
