In the media drivers, the v4l2 core knows about all submodules
and calls into them from a common function. However this cannot
work if the modules that get called are loadable and the
core is built-in. In that case we get
drivers/built-in.o: In function `set_type':
drivers/media/v4l2-core/tuner-core.c:301: undefined reference to `tea5767_attach'
drivers/media/v4l2-core/tuner-core.c:307: undefined reference to `tea5761_attach'
drivers/media/v4l2-core/tuner-core.c:349: undefined reference to `tda9887_attach'
drivers/media/v4l2-core/tuner-core.c:405: undefined reference to `xc4000_attach'
This was working previously, until the IS_ENABLED() macro was used
to replace the construct like
#if defined(CONFIG_DVB_CX24110) || (defined(CONFIG_DVB_CX24110_MODULE) && defined(MODULE))
with the difference that the new code no longer checks whether it is being
built as a loadable module itself.
To fix this, this new patch adds an 'IS_REACHABLE' macro, which evaluates
true in exactly the condition that was used previously. The downside
of this is that this trades an obvious link error for a more subtle
runtime failure, but it is clear that the change that introduced the
link error was unintentional and it seems better to revert it for
now. Also, a similar change was originally created by Trent Piepho
and then reverted by teh change to the IS_ENABLED macro.
Ideally Kconfig would be used to avoid the case of a broken dependency,
or the code restructured in a way to turn around the dependency, but either
way would require much larger changes here.

The option to load firmware asynchronously were added due to
a requirement with a few versions of udev. It turns that this was
a bad idea and caused regressions on drxk-based devices.
So, we end by only letting the firmware to be loaded syncronously
everywhere.
So, let's remove the bad code.
This patch partially reverts the changeset 8e30783b0b.

Thare are lots of CamelCase warnings produced by checkpatch.pl.
This weren't fixed at the time the driver got submitted due
to the lack of manpower do to such cleanup.
Now that I have one script that automates this task, cleans
it. That makes the driver almost checkpatch-compliant,
except for 80 column warnings.

Due to udev-182, the firmware load was changed to be async, as
otherwise udev would give up of loading a firmware.
Add an option to return to the previous behaviour, async firmware
loads cause failures with the tda18271 driver.
Antti tested it with the following hardware:
Hauppauge WinTV HVR 930C
MaxMedia UB425-TC
PCTV QuatroStick nano (520e)
