This is actually an error at libdvbv5, that was solved by this patch:
commit bf028618f0a2f86f8515560865b8f8142eddb1d9
Author: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

libdvbv5: Retry FE_GET_PROPERTY ioctl if it returns EAGAIN
Retry the FE_GET_PROPERTY ioctl used to determine if we have a DVBv5 device
if it returns EAGAIN indicating the driver is currently locked by the kernel.
Also skip over subsequent information gathering calls to FE_GET_PROPERTY
that return EAGAIN.

Basically, -EAGAIN should be discarded.
That's said, see below.

Returning EAGAIN here doesn't seem right, as this ioctl didn't fail
due to mutex locked while calling an ioctl with non-block mode (that's
basically the usage of EAGAIN).
The proper behavior is to succeed the ioctl, keeping the cache untouched,
with all the DVBv5 available status with scale filled with
FE_SCALE_NOT_AVAILABLE.
That's said, I'm not seeing the part of the code on m88ds3103 that would
be filling the DVBv5 stats. It seems that this patch comment is bogus.
