A new pvrusb2 snapshot is available.

Performance/feature-wise things should be the same as the last snapshot.  
These are rearrangements to make it easier to add new device support to 
the driver.  Specific changes:

  (+) Add device_hardware_type and device_hardware_description nodes
      to the sysfs interface.  Reading these files will return a
      single token (for device_hardware_type) or a one line
      description (for device_hardware_description), based on the
      actual device type being operated.

  (+) Collect all information that describes specific device types and
      move it all into a single module (pvrusb2-devattr.c).  No more
      scattered logic that tries to adjust behavior on perceived
      device type.  Instead, a central descriptor contains information
      about device attributes which is then used through the driver to
      tailor the correct behavior.

  (+) Implement concept of device-specific audio / video routing
      scheme.  It is possible now to specify the signal routing scheme
      as part of the device description - making possible support of
      other devices which use different routing schemes.
