Subject: DVB-S PCI card regression on 4.19 / 4.20

Hi,

we've got a regression report on openSUSE Bugzilla regarding DVB-S PCI
card:
  https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1116374

According to the reporter (Stakanov, Cc'ed), the card worked fine on
4.18.15, but since 4.19, it doesn't give any channels, sound nor
picture, but only EPG is received.

The following errors might be relevant:

================

Other details can be found in the bugzilla entry above.

If any fix is known, please let me know.  I'll build a test kernel for
openSUSE to confirm it.


Thanks!
