Do you have possibility to test Kernel 3.1?
Also latest LinuxTV.org devel could be interesting to see. There is one 
patch that changes em28xx driver endpoint configuration. But as that 
patch is going for 3.3 it should not be cause of issue, but I wonder if 
it could fix... Use media_build.git if possible.

Which is that card? I wonder if there is same drivers used like tda18271...

I am maintainer of the cxd2820r. Mike knows tda18271 and maybe Mauro 
em28xx...
