Hello -
My Hauppauge Aero-M tuner stopped working with kernel 4.9. I tried the
media_build tree and native kernel drivers with no success through
kernel 4.10.8-1 on my Arch Linux system. No devices are created in
/dev/dvb.
The problem appears to be with dvb_usb_mxl111sf. Other tuners
(HVR955Q, WinTV dualHD) work fine. Full dmesg output using the
media_build drivers from April 5 after inserting the device:

I know the Hauppauge Aero-M tuner is good because it works fine in
both ATSC and DVB modes on a notebook running Kubuntu 16.04.2 with
kernel 4.8.0-46.
I'm happy to test any patches or code modifications to see if they fix
the problem or for additional debugging if that's helpful.
Thank you everyone for your work on these and other drivers for ATSC
and DVB tuners!
...Doug
