What about dib0700_rc_query_old_firmware, that would also need to be fixed. I don't have an overview over the media framework, so I wonder what arbitrates concurrent access to the buffer? Functions which are only called from the initialization and probe routines are probably properly arbitrated by the driver core. But I would expect (perhaps that is me being naive) stuff like dib0700_change_protocol to need some sort of mutex ? It seems to be called from some /sys/class/*/ file while for example legacy_dvb_usb_read_remote_control, which calls dib0700_rc_query_old_firmware, is described as being a polling function, i.e. periodically executed... or the streaming_ctrl function, that looks like it is executed at times...
