[TBS 5520SE][voidlinux] disagrees about version of symbol rc_register_device

[ghost]

I could not use newer kernel versions, because i would get this error:

ERROR: "__devm_regmap_init_sccb" [/home/user/TBS/media_build/v4l/ov9650.ko] undefined!

So I used these instructions to install the driver:

# wget http://www.tbsdtv.com/download/document/linux/media_build-2020-05-22.tar.bz2
# sudo rm -rf /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/media/
#tar jxvf media_build-2020-05-22.tar.bz2
#cd media_build
#./install.sh
#reboot 

But i get the following output:

Output: USB2.0 port:

[   39.348639] usb 1-1.2: new high-speed USB device number 5 using ehci-pci

So i searched the forums for a solution, and it was recommended to execute:

sudo rm -r -f /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/media
sudo make install

-> this statement is already present in the install.sh file, which i used (see first code block). If i only run the two commands above, it does not make a difference.

What can i do next?

uname -a (truncated)

Linux lschmelting 5.7.10_1 ... x86_64 GNU/Linux

I solved this by disabling all CONFIG items that had "RC" (i.e. remote control). Probably better option would be to use make menuconfig to select only the needed options. Running Void with kernel 5.10.16_1.

@pkorpine without your script i gry RC error after installing, but when I use your script i get error "lirc_scancode_event" ir-mce kbd-decoder.ko undefined

sed -i -r 's/(^CONFIG._IR.=)./\1n/g' v4l/.config

solved your issue but i after i got [ +0.000715] dvb-usb: found a 'TurboSight TBS 5520SE' in cold state, will try to load a firmware [ +0.000109] usb 1-1.3: Direct firmware load for dvb-usb-id5520se.fw failed with error -2 [ +0.000015] dvb-usb: did not find the firmware file 'dvb-usb-id5520se.fw' (status -2). You can use /scripts/get_dvb_firmware to get the firmware

Just missing one step wget http://www.tbsdtv.com/download/document/linux/tbs-tuner-firmwares_v1.0.tar.bz2 sudo tar jxvf tbs-tuner-firmwares_v1.0.tar.bz2 -C /lib/firmware/

What I did to have the tuner working is all below following @pkorpine message

@JonathanMegevand be warned that Markup Language is being interpreted in your comments and there are two missing per line: `sed -i -r 's/(^CONFIG._RC.=)./\1n/g' v4l/.config sed -i -r 's/(^CONFIG._IR.*=)./\1n/g' v4l/.config`
