V4L/DVB (8985): S2API: Added dvb frontend changes to support a newer tuning API
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.
