az6007_ci_poll_slot_status() returns -EIO when the status request fails.
dvb_ca_en50221 treats the return value as a bitmask, so -EIO is
interpreted as CAM_PRESENT|CAM_CHANGED. The CA state machine then
handles a CAM change for every failed poll, without sleeping in between.
After an unplug, every poll fails this way and the CA thread can spin
forever in dvb_ca_en50221_thread_state_machine(), preventing the USB
disconnect from completing. This happened when unplugging a TechniSat
CableStar Combo HD CI with a CAM inserted, and rcu_sched reported a
stall.
Report no CAM when the status request or buffer allocation fails, and
only inspect the status byte when the request returned data. A read
error while a CAM is present is then treated as a removal and the CAM is
reinitialised after the next successful poll.

__az6007_read(), __az6007_write() and az6007_i2c_xfer() currently map
usb_control_msg() failures to -EIO. After disconnect, USB reports
-ENODEV, but drxk cannot distinguish a gone device from a transfer
error.
Propagate the error reported by usb_control_msg() instead. Keep short
transfers mapped to -EIO as before.
This lets drxk stop retrying and accessing the device after disconnect.

drxk's wait loops retry I2C transfers on every error. In
dvbt_sc_command(), read16() can leave cur_cmd unchanged when the read
fails, so the loop can either exit early or retry until the maximum when
the device has disappeared.
Stop retrying on -ENODEV and return the error instead of continuing with
the command. In power_up_device(), check the final transfer status after
the shortened loop.
-ENODEV is only returned here after a USB device has been disconnected,
so this does not change behaviour while the device is present.

drxk continues frontend status polling after its USB device disappears.
read_status() keeps issuing I2C accesses, and drxk_get_stats() ignores
the error from get_lock_status(), so callers see "no signal".
Enter DRXK_NO_DEV when an I2C transfer returns -ENODEV and reject
further hardware accesses in that state. Propagate -ENODEV from
drxk_get_stats() so read_status() reports the disconnect.
Also check the state after the tuner's gate control in
drxk_set_parameters() before continuing demodulator setup.

dvb_dmxdev_release() sets dmxdev->exit and waits for open demux and DVR
files to close, but readers blocked in dvb_dmxdev_buffer_read() wait
only for data or buffer->error. Setting exit therefore does not wake a
blocked read or epoll wait. The release, for example on a USB
disconnect, then waits forever.
Set -ENODEV on the DVR buffer and open filter buffers, wake their wait
queues, and return -ENODEV from dvb_demux_read() once exit is set. Do
not flush buffers when consuming -ENODEV so all readers see the error.
Blocking DMX_DQBUF waiters are not covered.

dvb_ca_en50221_release() sets ca->exit and waits for open users to close
the CA device, but read, write, poll and ioctl can continue and blocked
readers and pollers are not woken.
Return -ENODEV from CA read, write and ioctl operations and EPOLLERR
from poll after ca->exit is set, and wake the corresponding wait queues.
Keep the release wait so the existing lifetime protection remains in
place.
tvheadend keeps the CA device open and waits for it with epoll, so it
needs to observe the disconnect before it can close the device.
