Yes, please send to ML.

Ok.

For now, yes.

The thing is that we'll need/want to remove the DVBv3 stats support
from the drivers, and add some code inside the core to keep backward
support.

So, it is more like avoiding the need of rework on it latter.
Now that the driver is fresh, people have the hardware in hands to
check if something doesn't break with the conversion. If this got
postponed, the one doing the conversion may not have the hardware
anymore, with could cause regressions.

Well, as this was not merged on 4.2 and we're at -rc1, we have some
time to address the needs. Just try to send me a new pull request
up to -rc5 (or, at most, at beginning of the -rc6 week), or otherwise
it could be postponed to 4.3.

Regards,
Mauro
