I just checked the crystalhd driver in the mainline kernel. The driver
seems to be much better maintained over there than at linuxtv.org. See
[1].

I'm going to drop the driver from linuxtv.org. If after I drop the
package someone has some compelling reason to use the driver from
linuxtv.org, they can submit another bug to the crystalhd package and
explain why the linuxtv.org driver should be used.
