I made some (kludgy) patches to allow the TBS2981 to build for 2.6.38,
it works, with a few duplicate symbols affecting LIRC devices, but the
main problem is that the V4L drivers are the 2.6.35 ones forward
ported to 2.6.38 rather than the actual 2.6.35 drivers

I gather that Turbosight have updated their own sources using my
patches! I wish they'd open-source their frontend driver as they
promised to do :-(
