This error isn't hardware dependent.
Try to add a printk() to dvb_frontend.c:dvb_frontend_ioctl()
in front of the big switch statement, to see if we get there,
and print the value of cmd to compare with the value of
the compat_ioctl_error() print.
BTW, what does /proc/devices say about char major 212?
What kernel version?
