i read something about it lately here (german!): 
http://www.vdr-portal.de/board16-video-disk-recorder/board85-hdtv-dvb-s2/p977938-stb0899-fec-3-4-tester-gesucht/#post977938

It says in stb0899_drv.c function:
static void stb0899_set_iterations(struct stb0899_state *state) 

This:
reg = STB0899_READ_S2REG(STB0899_S2DEMOD, MAX_ITER);
STB0899_SETFIELD_VAL(MAX_ITERATIONS, reg, iter_scale);
stb0899_write_s2reg(state, STB0899_S2DEMOD, STB0899_BASE_MAX_ITER, STB0899_OFF0_MAX_ITER, reg);

should be replaced with this:

reg = STB0899_READ_S2REG(STB0899_S2FEC, MAX_ITER);
STB0899_SETFIELD_VAL(MAX_ITERATIONS, reg, iter_scale);
stb0899_write_s2reg(state, STB0899_S2FEC, STB0899_BASE_MAX_ITER, STB0899_OFF0_MAX_ITER, reg);

Basically replace STB0899_S2DEMOD with STB0899_S2FEC in this 2 lines
affected.
