I've postponed it since it is valuable to have some discussions about this driver. The issue I see is that the V4L drivers are meant to support real devices. This driver that is a loopback for some userspace driver. I don't discuss its value for testing purposes or other random usage, but I can't see why this should be at upstream kernel. So, I'm considering to add it at v4l-dvb tree, but as an out-of-tree driver only. For this to happen, probably, we'll need a few adjustments at v4l build.
