Pinnacle 80e: Fully Functional

I'm watching The Tonight Show using the Pinnacle 80e under Linux.

It's all downhill from here: cleanup code, work out licensing with Micronas, and prepare patches for submission upstream.

Not bad for a piece of hardware that showed up on my door on October 10th. A little less than three weeks to get to a fully operational state, and that included working out getting access to the datasheets and reference driver source with the chipset vendors.
