Patch the driver and it will work just fine.  The problem isn't solved,
it just throws an error instead of crashing.  The patch was rejected by
the V4L maintainers and I've seen no progress on getting the root cause
resolved.  The bug is with the driver but the error wasn't triggered by
MythTV until recent versions (of Myth).
