It seems to be a problem on your code. It would help if you put your
code somewhere and ask people for taking a look on it. 

Also, as Patrick and Luca said, the better environment for you to
develop a new driver is using a copy of v4l-dvb + your driver. Assuming
that your driver is called "mydriver", you need just to:

a) create a newer dir with your driver: 
	/linux/drivers/media/dvb/mydriver
b) Under /linux/drivers/media/dvb/mydriver:
	create a Kconfig and a Makefile 
   You may use another Kconfig/Makefile as example (for example, pluto2)
c) Add your driver directory at /linux/drivers/media/dvb/Makefile:
	obj-y        := dvb-core/ frontends/ ttpci/ ttusb-dec/ ttusb-budget/ b2c2/ bt8xx/ cinergyT2/ dvb-usb/ pluto2/ mydriver/

d) Add a source line for your driver at /linux/drivers/media/dvb/Kconfig:
	source "drivers/media/dvb/mydriver/Kconfig"

After that, you will be able to use v4l-dvb makefile to compile your
driver.  With
	make help
you'll see some useful syntax that may help your development.

Cheers,
