Shortly, It is error No time, -ENOTIME.

I have two LinuxTV related projects that are higher priority.
* AF9013 rewrite to optimize I2C IO
* Anysee smartcard reader

I think my rtl28xx tree should be rebased to latest code. MFE support at
least have made such changes it will not compile top of latest tree.

And the tree I have does support only very limited set of RTL2831U
devices. It was Maxim Levitsky working for RTL2832U but he have given up.
