Right up front, I must say I do NOT have a Hauppauge tuner. I think it's like maybe Mygica/Geniatech: Bus 002 Device 004: ID 05e1:0400 Syntek Semiconductor Co., Ltd Whenever I update my kernel, I edit the ./drivers/media/usb/au0828/au0828-cards.c file adding an entry for my 0x400 device.

I just reverted back to the previous version and it's working again. I don't know what broke and where, between the versions. I saw https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/1/21/1020 but this is back in January so I don't know if something was more recently applied to au0828 that makes use of the API. "lsof" didn't show anything related to "/dev/dvb" being used. Oh neat! Someone posted a neat git feature which I tried and I get: ***** $ git log --graph --pretty=format:'%Cred%h%Creset -%C(yellow)%d%Creset %s %Cgreen(%cr)%Creset' --abbrev-commit --date=relative v5.1.15..v5.2.8 drivers/media/usb/au0828/ * be50f19fee84 - media: au0828: fix null dereference in error path (12 days ago) * c942fddf8793 - treewide: Replace GPLv2 boilerplate/reference with SPDX - rule 157 (3 months ago) * 16216333235a - treewide: Replace GPLv2 boilerplate/reference with SPDX - rule 1 (3 months ago) * ec8f24b7faaf - treewide: Add SPDX license identifier - Makefile/Kconfig (3 months ago) * 14340de506c9 - media: prefix header search paths with $(srctree)/ (3 months ago) * f604f0f5afb8 - media: au0828: stop video streaming only when last user stops (4 months ago) * 898bc40bfcc2 - media: au0828: Fix NULL pointer dereference in au0828_analog_stream_enable() (4 months ago) * 383b0e5b6ebb - media: au0828: fix enable and disable source audio and video inconsistencies (4 months ago) * 812658d88d26 - media: change au0828 to use Media Device Allocator API (4 months ago) * b60a5b8dcf49 - media: Kconfig files: use the right help coding style (5 months ago) * f712e5358d43 - media: au0828: minor fix to a misleading comment in _close() (5 months ago) ***** Note the 812658d88d26 commit. So if I did the git command correctly, then it WAS added between these versions. Any thoughts on if it is broken or if I can hack in a fix to force it to ignore it being thought as being busy?
