      V4L/DVB (10265): budget.c driver: Kernel oops: "BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffffff

I'm using a "Hauppauge WinTV-NOVA-T DVB card" of PCI id "13c2:1005" with
kernel 2.6.27.9.

I've recently experienced the following fairly consistent kernel oops on
startup in grundig_29504_401_tuner_set_params from budget.c. As you
might expect, following this failure, the card doesn't work.

I'm not a kernel developer, nevertheless I seem to have managed to track
this down to a non-existent initialisation of
budget->dvb_frontend->tuner_priv.

The attached patch fixes the problem for me (and I've managed to tune
the card successfully as a result), but I don't know of anyone else
using the driver so I can't test it on other people.

Please let me know if this works for you or if I've done something
terribly wrong ;-(

      V4L/DVB (8876): budget: udelay changed to mdelay · db210426
      Thierry MERLE authored 
      budget.ko fails to build on ARM with:

ERROR: "__bad_udelay" [drivers/media/dvb/ttpci/budget.ko] undefined!
make[1]: *** [__modpost] Error 1

__bad_udelay is specifically designed on ARM to fail when udelay is
called in a bad way.  arch/arm/include/asm/delay.h has this to say
about __bad_udelay:

/*
 * This function intentionally does not exist; if you see references to
 * it, it means that you're calling udelay() with an out of range value.
 *
 * With currently imposed limits, this means that we support a max delay
 * of 2000us. Further limits: HZ<=1000 and bogomips<=3355
 */
extern void __bad_udelay(void);

Solution is to replace udelay by a mdelay and udelay with value less than 2000
