I've been having a similar problem and have tried using the patch from 
Igor Liplianin.

http://marc.info/?l=linux-dvb&m=122730082915638&w=2

Unfortunately this patch didn't work for my device until I reduced 
hi_clk to 110MHz.

I'm concious that Manu Abraham (to avoid confusion with the OP, also 
called Manu) doesn't recommend a frequency higher than 99MHz.

Is this a device limitation? What are the chances of damaging the device 
by setting a clock frequency higher than 99MHz?

Many thanks,

Lou
