I don't see why to revert changeset 6579. On changeset 7186, an option were added at the frontend structure, to allow specify if diseqc requires a modulated signal or not. It is just a matter of changing the struct. Something like:

 static struct tda10086_config dvbs_card1 = {
        .demod_address = 0x0e,
        .invert = 0,
        .diseqc_tone = 0,	/* Non-modulated tone - The default behavior after changeset 6579 */
 };

 static struct tda10086_config dvbs_card2 = {
        .demod_address = 0x0e,
        .invert = 0,
        .diseqc_tone = 1,	/* modulated tone - The default behavior before changeset 6579 */
 };

The problem seems to be related to this struct:

static struct tda10086_config flydvbs = {
        .demod_address = 0x0e,
        .invert = 0,
        .diseqc_tone = 0,
};

is currently in use by several variants:
	SAA7134_BOARD_FLYDVB_TRIO,
	SAA7134_BOARD_MEDION_MD8800_QUADRO,
	SAA7134_BOARD_FLYDVBS_LR300,
	SAA7134_BOARD_PHILIPS_SNAKE,
	SAA7134_BOARD_MD7134_BRIDGE_2.

Probably, some of those boards need .diseqc_tone=1 while others require .diseqc_tone=0.

What are the boards that are currently broken?

Cheers,
Mauro
