[PATCH] lib/xtrx: honouring/using the loglevel parameter

by Gwenhael Goavec-Merou

loglevel parameter is never used and let loglevel to DEBUG, with an annoying flood of message in terminal. This patch adds a call to xtrx_log_setlevel() at xtrx constructor level.

[PATCH] Support RTL-SDR Blog V4 R828D dongles

by Carl Laufer

I've just released a new R828D based dongle and it needs some code changes to work. It would be great if the osmocom drivers could support it. The dongle is based on the R828D chip, but unlike prior R828D dongles which use 16 MHz, the V4 uses a 28.8 MHz LO. Also the three RF inputs are used, and connected via a triplexer to separate them into HF, VHF and UHF bands. Finally, the open_d pin is also used to activate some notch filters for common interference bands. I've written the code so it detects an EEPROM string in the V4, and only applies the new code if that exists. This makes sure that the older R828D based dongles still work. I'm not too familiar with the patch submission process, so please let me know if something needs to be changed. And if anyone on the team needs/wants some new V4 dongles for testing, please let me know too.
