Unfortunately the patches haven't been worked into linux mainstream kernel yet. The good news is hauppauge has finally started contributing to getting it working.
If you're planning to compile a build, you could try to take the 5 patches from here: Ubuntu-media-tree-kernel-builder/patches/ubuntu-zesty-4.10.0/extra at master · b-rad-NDi/Ubuntu-media-tree-kernel-builder · GitHub and see if they work in the rpi build. Place them in your http://libreelec.tv/projects/rpi2/patches/linux folder.
I'm guessing more will need to be changed than just those to make it work - but that's the test I would try -- I just don't have a build environment setup for rpi right now. Hopefully someone here ( crazycat ) will be able to provide more insight.
-- P.S. Happy to test a build if you compile it!
I'm actually going to try to compile it this way tonight and see what happens. Nothing like messing around in order to learn!
