What do you mean by sign off?  I have fully built your tree and confirmed
my patch is in it and works.

would tend not to mask this error until we know exactly what is
happening.

The error message I was getting is
...
[ 1666.695316] dvb-usb: bulk message failed: -110 (4/0)
[ 1666.695347] cxusb: i2c read failed
[ 1669.172638] dvb-usb: bulk message failed: -110 (4/0)
[ 1669.172674] cxusb: i2c read failed
[ 1671.746447] dvb-usb: bulk message failed: -110 (4/0)
[ 1671.746447] cxusb: i2c read failed
[ 1674.411892] dvb-usb: bulk message failed: -110 (4/0)
[ 1674.411892] cxusb: i2c read failed

-110 errno mean timeout. dvb_usb_generic_rw() calls usb_bulk_msg() with a
2 second timeout, which I assume is why I was seeing this message every
two seconds or so.

Anyway, I have been unable to reproduce this using drivers from your tree,
so maybe it was something wrong with my own tree or the hardware got in a
funny state, I'll investigate further if I see it again.
