How to get the DVB drivers to stop spamming my logs?

I have a MythTV box with 3 tuners: 2 USB and one PCI. One or more of the tuners' drivers keeps spamming syslog with the following (taken from the Logwatch summary):

    lgdt330x: i2c_read_demod_bytes: addr 0x0e select 0x58 error (ret == 
-71) ...:  278497 Time(s)
    lgdt330x: i2c_read_demod_bytes: addr 0x0e select 0x6e error (ret == 
-71) ...:  410252 Time(s)
    lgdt330x: i2c_read_demod_bytes: addr 0x0e select 0x8b error (ret == 
-71) ...:  1278 Time(s)
    lgdt330x: i2c_write_demod_bytes error (addr 02 <- 00,  ...:  73945 
Time(s)
    lgdt330x: i2c_write_demod_bytes error (addr 4c <- 14,  ...:  1281 
Time(s)
    xc2028 1-0061: Error on line 1294: -71 ...:  1234 Time(s)

Is there any way to get the drivers to stop spamming syslog, short of recompiling them with the error messages removed?

Error -71 is this one:

include/asm-generic/errno.h:#define EPROTO 71 /* Protocol error */

It is generally due to some issue at USB level, like bad cabling or bad contact.
