That doesn't solve anything. Besides, your patch doesn't even do what
you describe.

Wouldn't it be possible to extend the current CA API? If not, shouldn't
a new API be created that covers both old and new requirements?

It's rather unintuitive that some CAMs appear as ca0, while others as cam0.
Ngene CI appears as both ca0 and cam0 (or sec0). The ca0 node is used
as usual, to setup the CAM. The cam0 (or sec0) node is used to read/write
transport stream. To me it  looks like an extension of the current API.

The sec name needs changing obviously, but there seem to be some other
problems too.
If it was that easy to fix, it wouldn't be in staging today.
