I suspect that the main reason for people not using non-vanilla Kernels
is that, among other bugs, the dwc2 upstream driver has serious troubles
handling ISOCH traffic.

Using Kernel 4.15-rc7 from this git tree:
	https://git.linuxtv.org/mchehab/experimental.git/log/?h=softirq_fixup

(e. g. with the softirq bug partially reverted with Linux patch, and
 the DWC2 deferred probe fixed)

With a PCTV 461e device, with uses em28xx driver + Montage frontend
(with is the same used on dvbsky hardware - except for em28xx).

This device doesn't support bulk for DVB, just ISOCH. The drivers work 
fine on x86.

Using a test signal at the bit rate of 56698,4 Kbits/s, that's what
happens, when capturing less than one second of data:

$ dvbv5-zap -c ~/dvb_channel.conf "tv brasil" -l universal -X 100 -m -t2dvbv5-zap -c ~/dvb_channel.conf "tv brasil" -l universal -X 100 -m -t2
