They weren't expanded in the pvrusb2 case because when the driver

I process them with a script which does various manipulations to make 
the sources suitable for the v4l-dvb repository.  Among these 
manipulations include unexpanding any expanded CVS (actually Subversion 
in this case) keywords.  So the keywords actually are used and are 
accurate in the standalone context, but the processed result leaves them 
unexpanded since that would otherwise be a source for constant merge 
thrashing and misleading version info in other environments (e.g. in 
v4l-dvb or the kernel).

I had originally left the $id$ keyword there (unexpanded) thinking it 
might possibly have application in other contexts.  But I will adjust my 
processing script to ensure that the keyword is removed entirely.
