[pvrusb2] New driver snapshot: pvrusb2-mci-20060102A

[Mike Isely]

Sigh.

Another problem has cropped up, introduced by this change.  If you are 
compiling under 2.6.15, you'll get a compilation failure in 
pvrusb2-video-v4l.c, due to media/v4l2-common.h being erroneously 
suppressed from being included.  That's a new header file that appeared in 
2.6.15.  The root cause here is that I'm tired and need to get to bed - so 
I'm not going to compound the problem by releasing another snapshot 
tonight with probably another surprise flaw in it.

If you are building under 2.6.15, there is an easy workaround for this. 
Edit driver/compat.h and comment out the line that defines the macro 
PVR2_SUPPRESS_V4L2COMMON.  The rule surrounding that definition is wrong 
and is causing the problem.  So just turn it off if you're building for 
2.6.15.

I'll post another snapshot hopefully tomorrow night (earlier in the 
evening) after I've had some time to think through a more careful fix.
