Understandable, I did the same at the time when I was working in media
and DVB was still a thing.

Thanks for your feedback. Unfortunately my client wants to stick with
the vendor kernel, so my only chance is to see whether it works with
upstream mainline and if so, at least I know the hardware is OK.

Why oh why do we have vendor kernels? In small-system's Linux there
sooo many vendor kernels. Very hard to understand. It's 2023.

The answers to a similar problem I found in the NXP community board
was: go look at the driver source and see what's wrong.

Thanks again for your answers.

best regards,
