[pvrusb2] New driver snapshot: pvrusb2-mci-20080208

[Mike Isely]

A new driver snapshot is available.  The major change here involves more 
work for future support of digital hybrid tuners.  Another supported 
(analog) device has been added, and more refinements have been 
implemented involving abstraction of device specific attributes.  
Change history:

  (+) Enable support for "GOTVIEW USB2.0 DVD Deluxe" hardware.

  (+) Device attribute structure is entirely read-only and is intended
      to be compact.  It does not exist in any context involving user
      application access nor can it be touched in any external manner
      which might be sensitive to packing order.  Therefore, shrink
      the space used by switching enumerations to char type and using
      single bit fields for flag items.

  (+) Abstract LED control out so that it can be handled as a
      device-specific attribute.

  (+) Allow digital streaming to work even if the encoder firmware
      could not be loaded (because the encoder is not in the digital
      streaming path so it does not matter if the encoder is working
      or not).

  (+) Lots of new generic control logic implemented to handle
      streaming from a digital source.  This is a major change.  None
      of this is actually in use yet - these changes just lay the
      foundation for digital streaming control.

  (+) Fix oops in stream allocation logic (not possible in V4L
      interface, was found while debugging a new interface).
