Weirdness. The source for saa7164-cards.c at 
http://kernellabs.com/hg/saa7164-stable/ does indeed include the 8940 
but it doesn't have any of the extra ports for mpeg encoding in the 
source at 
http://git.linuxtv.org/media_tree.git/tree/HEAD:/drivers/media/video/saa7164. 
Also the files at http://kernellabs.com/hg/saa7164-stable/ don't seem to 
be as new as the ones at git.linuxtv.org.

Also saa7164-fw.c at kernellabs points to v4l-saa7164-1.0.2-3.fw and 
v4l-saa7164-1.0.3-3.fw (for different card revs) whereas git.linuxtv.org 
points to NXP7164-2010-03-10.1.fw. Seems firmware was consolidated into 
one file for all card revs at some stage.

My guess is that the latest stuff is at git.linuxtv.org but somehow the 
8940 card was forgotten.

For me it seems my driver and firmware is way out of date (although it 
works fine for DVB-T). :-) Might try and upgrade soonish to see if/how 
analogue capture works. I'll report on how it goes if I do.
