Some devices need to issue a pre-initialization command sequence via
i2c in order to "enable" the communication with some adapter components.

This happens for instance in the vp7049 USB DVB-T stick on which the
frontend cannot be detected without first sending a certain sequence of
commands via i2c.

If this approach is OK I can send a similar patch for dvb-usb-v2.

Are all the dvb-usb drivers going to be ported to dvb-usb-v2 eventually?

I looked patch 3 and it is not I2C communication but direct M9206 memory 
access you did. I could guess it is GPIO sequence to reset & power demod 
and tuner. Due to that, correct place for this kind of initialization is 
inside demod and tuner attach.

With a USB power meter, some trial & error testing, and maybe fw disasm 
you could even detect those GPIOS :)

There is already such callbacks - but no callback between I2C init and 
FE attach. There is read_config() which is called first, good place to 
make probing device and detect hw config. Another new callback is 
.init() which is called after demod and tuner attach. Stuff like USB 
interface config should remain here. On USB power management case 
reset_resume() that function is called too in order re-configure reseted 
USB IF.

I don't see need yet another new callback.

There is still quite many drivers to convert, so maybe it is not happen 
anytime soon or even later. Feel free to convert that driver. For bonus 
you will get for example power-management support for free.

You are right it's not I2C, it's just usb communication with the bridge,
sorry.

An approach like the following would work for me, but it is rather dirty.

 /* Callbacks for DVB USB */
 static int m920x_mt352_frontend_attach(struct dvb_usb_adapter *adap)
 {
        deb("%s\n",__func__);

+       if (strncmp(adap->dev->desc->name, "DTV-DVB UDTT7049",
+                   strlen(adap->dev->desc->name)) == 0) {
+               int ret = vp7049_pre_init(adap->dev);
+               if (ret < 0)
+                       return ret;
+       }
+
        adap->fe_adap[0].fe = dvb_attach(mt352_attach,
                                         &m920x_mt352_config,
                                         &adap->dev->i2c_adap);


From a semantic point of view doing it in fe attach looks strange tho,
because the communication itself is strictly with the bridge (m920x) and
not with the frontend (mt352), even if the frontend is affected in this
case.

To me it still looks like something to do in dvb_usb_init() _before_
dvb_usb_adapter_init(), can you please help me understand better your
point of view?

I don't have the equipment, and maybe I don't have the disassembling
skills either, I might try to isolate the minimum required sequence by
commenting in and out register changes but I feel more confident with
sending the sequence just like it was captured from the windows driver.

OK, after I solve the issue on dvb-usb in a way you like it, I'll have a
clearer picture of how this will have to be solved in dvb-usb-v2 too.

Good to know about the power management, but it's unlikely I can work on
porting the driver to dvb-usb-v2.
