Mauro Carvalho Chehab 9a721b9b4b media: dvb uAPI docs: adjust return value ioctl descriptions
There are several issues on the return value for ioctls:

- Text is confusing;
- Some error codes don't exist;
- The non-generic error codes should come before the text
  that points to the generic error codes;
- Tables don't contain column size hints;
- Some references are not marked as such.

Correct them.

FE_SET_FRONTEND
***************
.. attention:: This ioctl is deprecated.
Name
====
FE_SET_FRONTEND
Synopsis
========
.. c:function:: int ioctl(int fd, FE_SET_FRONTEND, struct dvb_frontend_parameters *p)
:name: FE_SET_FRONTEND
Arguments
=========
``fd``
File descriptor returned by :c:func:`open() <dvb-fe-open>`.
``p``
Points to parameters for tuning operation.
Description
===========
This ioctl call starts a tuning operation using specified parameters.
The result of this call will be successful if the parameters were valid
and the tuning could be initiated. The result of the tuning operation in
itself, however, will arrive asynchronously as an event (see
documentation for :ref:`FE_GET_EVENT` and
FrontendEvent.) If a new :ref:`FE_SET_FRONTEND`
operation is initiated before the previous one was completed, the
previous operation will be aborted in favor of the new one. This command
requires read/write access to the device.
Return Value
============
On success 0 is returned.
On error -1 is returned, and the ``errno`` variable is set
appropriately.
