Hi all,

I wonder if Devin/Mauro could help me with something as I've run into a
problem developing a driver for the PCTV 290e?

First plug of the device works fine, em28xx and em28xx_dvb are loaded.
However, if I disconnect and then re-plug the device, the em28xx_dvb
module will hang in dvb_init() where it performs mutex_lock(&dev->lock);

It looks like the code to handle udev locking runs into a problem
if the em28xx_dvb is already loaded. I'm referring to this:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/91160/

I don't have any other em28xx DVB devices to test against at the moment.
I have modified dvb_init to give up if it doesn't get a lock straight
away. This is not a valid fix, but it means I can run rmmod instead of
rebooting.

Below is a copy of khubd's complaint about the hangup. I pulled from
media_tree.git. Perhaps this is already fixed in another branch? Thanks.
