Yes, I noticed the bug earlier today, while testing a DVB device.
As this affects 2 stable releases plus the upcoming Kernel 4.6,
I decided to just revert it for now, while we don't solve the
issue.

Your patch looks good. So, eventually it will be merged on a new
version of this patch, after we test it properly.

Thanks!
