Fwd: in linux 6.3.7-200.fc38.x86_64 goes vlc in time to switch tv channels to zombie-process

[Bagas Sanjaya]

Hi,

I notice a regression report on Bugzilla [1]. Quoting from it:

> vmlinuz-6.3.7-200.fc38.x86_64  and vmlinuz-6.3.8-200.fc38.x86_64
> 
> in the switch tv channel to another vlc stay blocked and and the loading of firmware newer ending. power must be switch to off.
> from dmesg:

> restart of dvb modules is impossible, They stay working.

See Bugzilla for the full thread and attached dmesg and lsusb.

Thorsten: The reporter can't perform bisection for he has problem
compiling his own vanilla kernel (see comment 8 on the Bugzilla
ticket, albeit with translated make(1) output). Can you take a look on
it?

Anyway, I'm adding it to regzbot (as stable-specific regression
for now):

#regzbot introduced: v6.3.5..v6.3.7 https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=217566
#regzbot title: switching TV channel causes VLC and firmware loading hang

Thanks.
