On a set-top-box based on the Broadcom 7405 SoC (MIPS), the Abilis as102 driver
causes a kernel oops while trying to map the URB stream buffers DMA addresses:
CPU 0 Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 007b9900,
epc == 80010cc4, ra == 8039d108

On other boxes based on older SoCs (7401) this doesn't happen, so it looks like
a bug in the kernel specific to MIPS SMP. This issue has been reproduced on
several kernel versions from 2.6.18 to 3.1.0.
Since the base DMA address and the offsets are known, it is possible to map
the DMA addresses of the URB buffers directly in the driver. This workaround
fixes the problem and has been tested on both MIPS and x86 CPUs with success.
By the way, with this fix the driver works perfectly fine on the set-top-box:
both UHF and VHF frequencies are tuned without problems, and zapping is quite
fast. SNR and signal strength reports seems to work fine, too.
The only remaining problem (on both the PC and the set-top-box) is that after
a soft reboot the device is not recognized again by the kernel. It requires
a power cycle (or a manual unplug/replug) to be recognized again. So probably
the device state is not reset properly at shut-down.
