Hauppauge WinTV-DualHD Dual Tuner support

So I stumbled across a patch which is supposed to add second tuner function; I’d like to test it out myself to confirm if it works.

Now I’ve tried compiling the kernel on my Rpi3 with the instructions here but always end up with errors during the patching of some unrelated drivers.

Is there a way I can compile the specific drivers for em28xx, apply the relevant patches and load them manually?

–edit–

I’m quite happy to say that I found the em28xx-*.ko files that were generated during the failed build, manually replaced the drivers in 4.14.15 and rebooted - the second tuner is now recognised so I’m quite happy to report that it all works…

Perhaps @sam_nazarko might consider adding the patch to the next build?

Kind regards
