As long as I use the "Hauppauge WinTV Nova-HD-S2", nobody seems to be really interested in silencing deadlock warnings triggered by
dvb_device_open().dvb lockdep problems are old, see Andy Walls mail written in 2010
<http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.video-input-infrastructure/27027>,

Hi Knut,
The v4l2 control handler lock false alarms, described in my old email, are fixed in 3.10 IIRC.
The dvb lock problem you have is unrelated to the v4l2 lock problem.

Andy
