[pvrusb2] 29xxx pvrusb2 fails on "Device being rendered inoperable" after firmware load

[Antti Pyykko]

Hello,

I have a 29xxx WinTV PVR2 USB device and I'm trying to get it working 
on my desktop box. It's running self-compiled mainline 2.6.30 AMD64 
kernel on Debian unstable. So far I haven't been able to get the device 
working.

The firmware has been downloaded by installing firmware-ivtv .deb 
package.

I have earlier tested the mainline kernel 2.6.30 pvrusb2 module, no luck.

Today I checked out v4l-dvb via Hg, compiled, installed, then downloaded 
pvrusb2-mci-20091124, pointed V4LDIR to the fresh checkout, compiled, 
installed pvrusb2.ko and moved away the old module. No luck with the 
fresh stuff either.

The symptoms are always the same. When I connect power to the device, I 
see this in syslog:

Nov 26 22:33:25 hanuri kernel: hub 1-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 4
Nov 26 22:33:25 hanuri kernel: usb 2-4: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 15
Nov 26 22:33:25 hanuri kernel: usb 2-4: not running at top speed; connect to a high speed hub
Nov 26 22:33:25 hanuri kernel: usb 2-4: New USB device found, idVendor=2040, idProduct=2900
Nov 26 22:33:25 hanuri kernel: usb 2-4: New USB device strings: Mfr=0, Product=0, SerialNumber=0
Nov 26 22:33:25 hanuri kernel: usb 2-4: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
Nov 26 22:33:25 hanuri kernel: pvrusb2: Hardware description: WinTV PVR USB2 Model 29xxx
Nov 26 22:33:25 hanuri kernel: usb 2-4: firmware: requesting v4l-pvrusb2-29xxx-01.fw
Nov 26 22:33:26 hanuri kernel: pvrusb2: Device microcontroller firmware (re)loaded; it should now reset and reconnect.
Nov 26 22:33:26 hanuri kernel: usb 2-4: USB disconnect, address 15
Nov 26 22:33:26 hanuri kernel: pvrusb2: Device being rendered inoperable
Nov 26 22:33:27 hanuri kernel: usb 1-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 116

Then nothing happens, ever. I've tested with different cables and 
different USB ports and USB hubs but the end result is always the same.


The device works when I connect it to my laptop (running Debian unstable 
running Debian kernel 2.6.31-1-686). The firmware files are identical on 
both computers (MD5SUM of v4l-pvrusb2-29xxx-01.fw matches).

Any ideas what could be wrong? Or, if you need any furher info, I'll 
gladly provide whatever you need.

Thanks.
