our customers are using any kind of linux kernel. The drivers are
using USBFS (devio.c) for interfacing with USB.
It seems like you are in contact with one customer who is using the
DH87RL board.
Just today we got another one in our forum using 3.12.9-2-ARCH.
Also Synology NAS users seem to be affected by the USB 2.0 through USB
3.0 issue.

well we can try but those are regular endcustomers who just want to
have things work.

Maybe it would help if we would ship a USB DVB
(DVB-C/T/T2/AnalogTV(PAL/NTSC)/FM Radio/S-Video/Composite) stick to
you?
At least you should be able to use NTSC in US using a videorecorder,
or composite with a camera.
Since our devices are using USBFS all the critical code is in
userspace, no crash should be possible actually.
However the reality looks different the linux usb stack causes freezes
and other problems when xhci is active.

The device transfers around 20mb/sec via USBFS for AnalogTV so it's a
good target for testing.
