This touches the dvb-core, and should be in a separate patch.

This is really a generic issue with most of these patches:

queue_setup checks for a minimum number of buffers, but that should instead
be configured through the q->min_buffers_needed field.

A lot of older drivers were written before that field was added.

This is a good opportunity to just drop this check from queue_setup
and instead just set q->min_buffers_needed to 8.
