The problem here is that I'm very reluctant to touch at the DVB core
without doing some tests myself, as things like locking can be
very sensible.
I'll try to find some time to take a look on it for Kernel 4.8,
but I'd like to reproduce the bug locally.
Could you please provide me enough info to reproduce it (and
eventually some test MPEG-TS where you know this would happen)?
I have two DekTek RF generators here, so I should be able to
play such TS and see what happens with and without the patch
on x86, arm32 and arm64.
Regards,
Mauro
