I added some logic to prevent statistic queries in case demodulator is clearly in state statistic query is invalid. Currently there could be checks in device driver but usually not. Garbage is usually returned and in some cases even I/O errors are generated as demod is put sleep and cannot answer any request.
I selected EPERM as error code for such cases. There was some other potential codes, but this one sounds best. And after quick grepping it is used by V4L2 for similar situation. Other error codes I found somehow suitable are: #define EPERM 1 /* Operation not permitted */ #define EAGAIN 11 /* Try again */ #define EACCES 13 /* Permission denied */ #define EBUSY 16 /* Device or resource busy */ #define ENODATA 61 /* No data available */ #define ECANCELED 125 /* Operation Canceled */ Any comments?
