8513e14457 [media] dvb-core, tda18271c2dd: define get_if_frequency() callback
Tuners in general convert a high frequency carrier into an Intermediate
Frequency (IF).

Digital tuners like tda18271, xc3028, etc. generally allow changing the IF
frequency, although they generally have recommented settings for the IF.
Analog tuners, have a fixed IF frequency, that depends on the physical
characteristics of some analog components.

For digital tuners, it makes sense to have ways to configure IF,
via the tuner's configuration structure, like what's done inside the
tda18271-fe maps.

The demods need to know what IF is used by the tuner, as it will need
to convert internally from IF into baseband. Currently, the bridge driver
needs to fill a per-demod configuration struct for it, or pass it via
a dvb_attach parameter.

The tda18271 datasheet recommends to use different IF's for different
delivery system types and for different bandwidths.

The DRX-K demod also needs to know the IF frequency in order to work,
just like all other demods. However, as it accepts different delivery
systems (DVB-C and DVB-T), the IF may change if the standard and/or
bandwidth is changed.

So, the usual procedure of passing it via a config struct doesn't work.

One might try to code it as two separate IF frequencies, or even as a
table in function of the delivery system and the bandwidth, but this
will be messy.

So, it is better and simpler to just add a new callback for it and
require the tuners that can be used with MFE frontends like drx-k
to implement a new callback to return the used IF.

297875b6a1 [media] videobuf2: Do not unconditionally map S/G buffers into kernel space
The one in-tree videobuf2-dma-sg driver (mmp-camera) has no need for a
kernel-space mapping of the buffers; one suspects that most other drivers
would not either.  The videobuf2-dma-sg module does the right thing if
buf->vaddr == NULL - it maps the buffer on demand if somebody needs it.  So
let's not map the buffer at allocation time; that will save a little CPU
time and a lot of address space in the vmalloc range.

[ 2643.276215] mceusb 3-1:1.0: tx data: 9f 07 (length=2)
[ 2643.276218] mceusb 3-1:1.0: Get carrier mode and freq
[ 2643.277206] mceusb 3-1:1.0: rx data: 9f 06 01 42 (length=4)
[ 2643.277209] mceusb 3-1:1.0: Got carrier of 37037 Hz (period 27us)

Matches up perfectly with the table in Microsoft's docs.

Of course, I've noticed on one of my devices that the MS-recommended
default value of 1 for carrier pre-scaler and 66 for carrier period was
butchered, and instead of converting 66 to hex (0x42 like above), they
put in 0x66, so the hardware reports a default carrier of 24390Hz.
Fortunately, I guess, this particular device is rx-only, but I wouldn't
put it past other hw to screw up here too.

a411e83944 [media] mceusb: get misc port data from hardware
According to the specs, you can read the number of tx ports, number of
rx sensors, which tx ports have cables plugged into them, and which rx
sensors are active. In practice, most of my devices do seem to report
sane values for tx ports and rx sensors (but not all -- one without any
tx ports reports having them), and most report the active sensor
correctly, but only one of eight reports cabled tx ports correctly. So
for the most part, this is just for informational purposes.

ab1072eba9 [media] mceusb: query device for firmware emulator version
Supposedly, there are essentially three different classes of devices
that are compatible with Microsoft's specs. First are the "legacy"
devices, which are built using Microsoft-provided hardware specs and
firmware. Second are "emulator" devices, which are built using custom
hardware and firmware, written to emulate Microsoft's firmware. Third
are "port" devices, which have their own device driver and firmware,
which provides compatible data to higher levels of the stack.

>From what I can tell, things like nuvoton-cir and fintek-cir are
essentially "port" devices -- their raw IR buffer format is very similar
to that of the mceusb devices. Now, within the mceusb driver, we have
three different "generations", which at first, seemed like maybe they
mapped to emulator versions. Unfortuantely, every single device I have
responds "illegal command" to the query to get firmware emulator version
from the hardware, which means they're either all emulator version 1, or
they're legacy devices, and our different "generations" aren't at all
related here. Though in theory, its possible the gen1 devices are
"legacy" devices and the rest are emulator v1. There are some useful
features of the v2 interface I was hoping to play with, but alas...
