Merge branch 'for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mchehab/linux-2.6

* 'for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mchehab/linux-2.6:
  V4L/DVB (9624): CVE-2008-5033: fix OOPS on tvaudio when controlling bass/treble
  V4L/DVB (9623): tvaudio: Improve debug msg by printing something more human
  V4L/DVB (9622): tvaudio: Improve comments and remove a unneeded prototype
  V4L/DVB (9621): Avoid writing outside shadow.bytes[] array
  V4L/DVB (9620): tvaudio: use a direct reference for chip description
  V4L/DVB (9619): tvaudio: update initial comments
  V4L/DVB (9618): tvaudio: add additional logic to avoid OOPS
  V4L/DVB (9617): tvtime: remove generic_checkmode callback
  V4L/DVB (9616): tvaudio: cleanup - group all callbacks together
  V4L/DVB (9615): tvaudio: instead of using a magic number, use ARRAY_SIZE
  V4L/DVB (9613): tvaudio: fix a memory leak
