The centosplus kernel is, IIRC, an el6 kernel with extra drivers for 
non-el-type stuff like multimedia.  The current kernel is

http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/centosplus/x86_64/Packages/kernel-2.6.32-696.23.1.el6.centos.plus.x86_64.rpm

with a build date of 2018-03-14, probably for the spectre security fix.

Your dmesg shows

Linux version 2.6.32-220.17.1.el6.centos.plus.x86_64 
(mockbuild at c6b5.bsys.dev.centos.org) (gcc version 4.4.6 20110731 (Red 
Hat 4.4.6-3) (GCC) ) #1 SMP Wed May 16 05:20:13 BST 2012

I doubt that saa7134 stuff has been updated much since then, but
you probably ought to think about doing some updating, anyway :-)
