There is are a additions I'd like to add to v4l-utils: 

1) on DVB, ioctls may fail with -EAGAIN. Some parts of the libdvbv5 don't
handle it well. I made one quick hack for it, but didn't have time to
add a timeout to avoid an endless loop. The patch is simple. I just need
some time to do that;

2) The Media Controller control util (media-ctl) doesn't support DVB.

The patchset adding DVB support on media-ctl is ready, and I'm merging
right now, and matches what's there at Kernel version 4.1-rc1 and upper.

Yet, Laurent and Sakari want to do some changes at the Kernel API, before
setting it into a stone at Kernel v 4.1 release.

This has to happen on the next 4 weeks.

So, I suggest to postpone the release of 1.8.0 until the end of this month.

Regards,
Mauro
