Hello
i'm using the pulse8 usb cec adapter to control my tv.
i have a few scripts that poll the power status of my tv and after a while it
stops working returning errors when trying to check if tv is on or off.
this i think matches a kernel oops i'm seeing that i suspect is related to this.
i have sometimes been able to recover from this problem by completely cutting
power to my tv and also unplugging the usb cec adapter.
i have a feeling that the tv is at least partly to blame for cec-ctl not
working but in any case there shouldn't be a kernel oops.
also every now and then i see this in dmesg:
cec cec0: transmit: failed 05
cec cec0: transmit: failed 06
but that doesn't appear to do any harm as far as i can tell.
any idea whats causing the oops?
the ops:
