Some points:

1. The change to stb6100 should in no way matter for the rotor.
2. u* is kernel data types and uint*_t are POSIX data types. In fact
this shouldn't matter AFAICT,  since both are explicit datatypes. The only
difference in there that can make a difference would be "long"

I think, greping for long, the only thing that comes to my mind is
stb0899_wait_diseqc_fifo_empty(), where you will see the error as
stb0899_wait_diseqc_fifo_empty: timed out !!
(do you see this error, in your logs ?)

But that also shouldn't matter, since there the timeout what's
provided there isn't quite large

Also this doesn't come into picture, with your u* to uint* change. .. 
thinking ..

Also, considering that since almost everyone else has this working,
maybe it has to be specific to your setup/machine.
