This patches fixes an ancient bug in the dvb_usb_af9005 driver, which has been reported at least in the following threads: https://lkml.org/lkml/2009/2/4/350 https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/9/18/558 If the driver is compiled in without any IR support (neither DVB_USB_AF9005_REMOTE nor custom symbols), the symbol_request calls in af9005_usb_module_init() return pointers != NULL although the IR symbols are not available. This leads to the following oops: ...

Until anyone who still has this old hardware steps up an does the conversion, fix it by not calling the symbol_request calls if the driver is compiled in without the default IR symbols (CONFIG_DVB_USB_AF9005_REMOTE). Due to the IR related pointers beeing NULL by default, IR support will then be disabled. The downside of this solution is, that it will no longer be possible to compile custom IR symbols (not using CONFIG_DVB_USB_AF9005_REMOTE) in. Please note that this patch has NOT been tested with all possible cases. I don't have the hardware and could only verify that it fixes the reported bug.
