Old EOPNOTSUPP & ENOSYS could be still returned by some drivers as well as other "non standard" error codes. EAGAIN is returned in case of device is in state where it cannot perform requested operation. This is for example sleep and statistics are queried. Quick check for few demodulator drivers reveals there is a lot of different error codes used in such case currently, few to mention still: EOPNOTSUPP, ENOSYS, EAGAIN ... Lets try harmonize.
