This patch increments the DVB-API to version 5.1 in order to reflect the addition of ISDB-T and ISDB-Tsb on Linux' DVB-API.
Changes in detail:
- added a small document to describe how to use the API to tune to an ISDB-T or ISDB-Tsb channel
- added necessary fields to dtv_frontend_cache
- added a smarter clear-cache function which resets all fields of the dtv_frontend_cache
- added a TRANSMISSION_MODE_4K to fe_transmit_mode_t

Various frontend driver have parameter checks in their set_frontend
functions and return an error if the parameters are not supported,
tda10021 and cx24116 to name two.
The tuning ioctls FE_SET_FRONTEND/FE_SET_PROPERTY only change values
in the property cache and return before set_frontend is called. If a
set_frontend call in software zigzag algorithm fails and the card was
previously locked it will report a lock and the new parameters but is
still tuned to the old transport. This is not detectable from
userspace.
This change checks the return values of fe->ops.set_frontend and
changes the state to the added FESTATE_ERROR for software zigzag.
No lock will be reported to userspace if the State is FESTATE_ERROR.

The fact that we now explicitly set fepriv->exit = 1 when the thread is
shutting down exposed an edge case where it was not being reset back to zero
once the thread went away in some cases. This resulted in failures in cases
where the frontend was closed, and then opened O_RDONLY, since in that case
the thread is not being restarted but it was checking the fepriv->exit flag.
Thanks to Thierry Lelegard, who and encountered and debugged a large portion
of the issue in the same twelve hours that I did (as well as testing my patch).

A race condition was detected in the case that putting the tuner to sleep takes
an unusually long period of time, combined with applications that quickly
close/open the dvb frontend.
The kaffeine channel scanner closes and reopens the dvb frontend between each
tuning attempt. If it takes an unusually longer period of time to put the
tuner to sleep (for example, the Pinnacle 801e takes 660 ms), the dvb_frontend
thread will still be in a running state (and hence fepriv->thread is still set)
but the fepriv->exit field will still be zero. As a result, if a
dvb_frontend_start() call arrives while the frontend thread is in the process
of terminating, the call will return 0 without actually starting a new thread.
This results in the tuning request being dropped.
To address this, mark fepriv->exit as soon as we know the thread is going to
be terminated, so that dvb_frontend_start() knows to start a new instance.
Problem encountered with Kaffeine 0.8.7 doing ATSC scanning against the
Pinnacle 801e tuner, in conjunction with new code to power down the xc5000
when not in use.

It is not safe to assume that the i2c gate will be open before issuing the
command to power down the tuner. In fact, many demods only open the gate
long enough to issue the tuning command.
This fix allows power management to work properly for those tuners behind an
i2c gate (in my case the problem was with the HVR-950Q)

rather than implementing different ways leading to confusion.
This allows multiple gate_enable/disable's in the tuner_read/write
functions, thereby lesser number of I/O operations throughout,
eventually leading to better results. As a side effect demods that
detect the STOP bit for auto closing of the gate can be avoided, thereby
a very minimal gain in disabling the auto detect feature as well.

When moving from one frontend to another
an application could spawn multiple threads opening
the same new frontend and in some circumstances all of
these could become delayed waiting for the previous
frontend readers or previous frontend writer thread to
complete.
In this scenario the first thread will succeed on open
to bring the new frontend online but any others will return
EBUSY. This is a fault. If the first succeeds and all others
are on the same frontend then they should succeed also.

This add frontend R/W mutual exclusion.
Prior to this point in time it was possible to open both
frontends simultaneously which an MFE card cannot support.
In order to stop this, a delayed open is performed which
has the following function:
- Return EBUSY after a configurable amount of time
if a frontend is unavailable due to the other being
in use.
- Only allow opening of a frontend if the kernel thread
of the other has stopped.
This solution was chosen to allow switching between
frontends to work as seamlessly as possible. When both
frontends are actually opened simultaneously then one
will only open, but if quick switching is performed
between one of many then the new open will succeed in
a clean fashion rather than interrupting a kernel
thread.

A detailed description from the original patches 2 years ago:
"The WinTV-HVR3000 has a single transport bus which is shared between
a DVB-T and DVB-S modulator. These patches build on the bus acquisition
cx88 work from a few weeks ago to add support for this.
So to applications the HVR3000 looks like this:
/dev/dvb/adapter0/fe0 (cx24123 DVB-S demod)
/dev/dvb/adapter0/fe1 (cx22702 DVB-T demod)
Additional boards continue as before, eg:
/dev/dvb/adapter1/fe0 (lgdt3302 ATSC demod)
The basic change is removing the single instance of the videobuf_dvb in
cx8802_dev and saa7134_dev(?) and replacing it with a list and some
supporting functions.
*NOTE* This branch was taken before v4l-dvb was closed for 2.6.19 so
two or three current cx88 patches appear to be reversed by this tree,
this will be cleaned up in the near future. The patches missing change
the mutex handing to core->lock, fix an enumeration problem."
It should be recognised that a number of people have been maintaining
this patchset. Significant levels of Kudos to everyone one involved,
including but not limited to:
Darron Broad
Fabio M. Di Nitto
Carlo Scarfoglio
Hans Werner
Without the work of these people, and countless others, my two year old
patches would of died on the Mercurial linuxtv.org vine a long time
ago.
TODO: Revise these patches a little further so that the need for
demux1 and dvr0 is optional, not mandatory on the HVR3000.
HISTORY (darron):
This is the last update to MFE prepared by Hans which is based
upon the `scratchpad' diff created by Carlo.
All MFE work prior to that point must be attributed to Fabio
who ported and maintained Steve's original patch up to that
time.

After discussion the following changes were made:
1. Removed the typedefs in frontend.h, use structures.
2. In the frontend.h, remove the 16 command limit on the API and
switch to a flexible variable length API. For practical reasons
a #define limits this to 64, this should be discussed.
3. Changed dvb-core ioctl handing to deal with variable sequences
of commands.

SET_TONE and SET_VOLTAGE were not previously implemented. Two options
existed. Either cut/paste from the previous ioctl handler into the
process_properties function, which is code duplication. Or, split
the current ioctl handler into it's two major pieces.
Piece 1, responsible for input validation and semaphore acquiring
Piece 2 the processing of the previous ioctls
and finally, a new third pieces where the array of properties
is processed, and can freely call the legacy ioctl handler without
having to re-acquire the fepriv->sem semaphore. This is a clean approach
and ensures the existing legacy ioctls are processed as they were previously
(but with an extra function call) and allows the new API to share code
without duplication.

This is an experimental patch to add a new tuning mechanism for
dvb frontends. Rather than passing fixed structures across the
user/kernel boundary, which need to be revised for each new modulation
type (or feature the kernel developers want to add), this implements
a simpler message based approach, allowing fe commands to be broken
down into a series of small fixed size transactions, presented
in an array.
The goal is to avoid changing the user/kernel ABI in the future, by
simply creating new frontend commands (and sequencies of commands) that
help us add support for brand new demodulator, delivery system or
statistics related commmands.
known issues:
checkpatch voilations
feedback from various developers yet to be implemented, relating
to namespace conventions, variable length array passing conventions,
and generally some optimization.
This patch should support all existing tuning mechanisms through the
new API, as well as adding 8PSK, DVB-S2 NBC-QPSK and ISDB-T API support.
