please excuse, but you are on some limit for random issues.

We have, within what is hidden, about two hundreds saa713x cards.

I'll pull some of my analog stuff out of the trash bin once more and
check, but I don't like it to do it again and it will not happen
endlessly.

You will need some companions claiming still having the same after it.

If you have a chance to test on the Philips/NXP m$ driver, fine there ?

I don't know what more to debug here and gave already all hints in all
directions i can think about.

Maybe they have done something really not recommended, but I can't tell.

Cheers,
Hermann
