Following patch is necessary to get DVB working properly on systems with 64bit kernel with 32bit userland.
I got the patch originally from @kszaq. I don't know the origin of the patch to be honest. I could find this here:
https://patchwork.linuxtv.org/patch/8209/
I guess Laurent Defert is the original author(?), but the patch looks rebased. Maybe @kszaq knows more about it.

@kszaq You are using a different patch for mediabuild right? I always required this patch even with mediabuild on WP2.

I've merged as the DVB adapter in WP2 doesn't work without it (tested). If things need tweaking again later it's no big deal. Thanks.

commit 147b36d upstream.

Race condition between registering an I2C device driver and
deregistering an I2C adapter device which is assumed to manage that
I2C device may lead to a NULL pointer dereference due to the
uninitialized list head of driver clients.

The root cause of the issue is that the I2C bus may know about the
registered device driver and thus it is matched by bus_for_each_drv(),
but the list of clients is not initialized and commonly it is NULL,
because I2C device drivers define struct i2c_driver as static and
clients field is expected to be initialized by I2C core:

  i2c_register_driver()             i2c_del_adapter()
    driver_register()                 ...
      bus_add_driver()                ...
        ...                           bus_for_each_drv(..., __process_removed_adapter)
      ...                               i2c_do_del_adapter()
    ...                                   list_for_each_entry_safe(..., &driver->clients, ...)
    INIT_LIST_HEAD(&driver->clients);

To solve the problem it is sufficient to do clients list head
initialization before calling driver_register().

The problem was found while using an I2C device driver with a sluggish
registration routine on a bus provided by a physically detachable I2C
master controller, but practically the oops may be reproduced under
the race between arbitraty I2C device driver registration and managing
I2C bus device removal e.g. by unbinding the latter over sysfs:
