Anything above dvb_dmx_swfilter_packet() is run with a spinlock held.
sleeping/scheduling/down_interruptible is not allowed until the lock
is released. Since __av7110_send_fw_cmd() issues msleep() like crazy, you
bet it is broken :o/

/me looks closer...

The driver does too much (slow) things in its softirq part. A part of it
should probably be posted to a workqueue. Doable but it is not a 5min hack.

Btw, the driver is not really social when something goes wrong:

static inline u32 rdebi(struct av7110 *av7110, u32 config, int addr, u32 val, int count)
{
        unsigned long flags; 
        u32 res;

        spin_lock_irqsave(&av7110->debilock, flags);
        res=av7110_debiread(av7110, config, addr, count);
[...]
u32 av7110_debiread(struct av7110 *av7110, u32 config, int addr, int count)
{
        struct saa7146_dev *dev = av7110->dev;
        u32 result = 0;

        if (count > 32764 || count <= 0) {
                printk("%s: invalid count %d\n", __FUNCTION__, count);
                return 0;
        }
        if (saa7146_wait_for_debi_done(av7110->dev, 0) < 0) {
[...]
int saa7146_wait_for_debi_done(struct saa7146_dev *dev, int nobusyloop)
{
        unsigned long start;

        /* wait for registers to be programmed */
        start = jiffies;
        while (1) {
                if (saa7146_read(dev, MC2) & 2)
                        break;
                if (time_after(jiffies, start + HZ/20)) {

-> up to 50ms sleep with spinlock held and interruptions disabled.
