    V4L/DVB (13224): pvrusb2: Improve diagnostic info on driver initialization failure · 27108147
    Mike Isely authored
    It used to be that the only real detectable reason for the driver to
    fail during initialization would be that if the hardware is simply
    jammed.  However with the advent of the sub-device mechanism in V4L it
    is possible now to detect if a sub-device module fails to load
    successfully.  The pvrusb2 driver does in fact react to this by also
    (correctly) failing, however the original diagnostic message "hardware
    is jammed" was still being reported.  This misleads the user because
    in fact it might not actually be a hardware failure.  This change adds
    logic to tell the difference and then report a more appropriate
    message to the kernel log.
