As I wrote earlier, I think that the disconnects were caused by disabling the pull-down resistors or unintentional writes from the dib0700 bridge to the usb bus when accidentally hitting the end of a SOF packet. Why and when this happens can only be debugged by the dibcom firmware guys. Since the patch suppresses writing of garbage during tuning, there might be an impact on disconnects. But (with older firmware versions) I have seen disconnects only when calling stream_on in the firmware, so I don't think that this patch has any impact on disconnects.
