Those files are meant to be dual GPL 2.0 and GFDL without
implicit sections. However, by a wrong cut-and-paste, I ended
by applying a GPL 2+ license text to it, while still using the
GPL 2.0 SPDX tag, with would cause an ambiguity about the
licensing model.
Solve this by explicitly mentioning that the dual licensing
is between GPL 2.0 and GFDL and correcting the text.

This commit adds a new property DTV_SCRAMBLING_SEQUENCE_INDEX.
This 18 bit field, when present, carries the index of the DVB-S2 physical
layer scrambling sequence as defined in clause 5.5.4 of EN 302 307.
There is no explicit signalling method to convey scrambling sequence index
to the receiver. If S2 satellite delivery system descriptor is available
it can be used to read the scrambling sequence index (EN 300 468 table 41).
By default, gold scrambling sequence index 0 is used. The valid scrambling
sequence index range is from 0 to 262142.
Increase the DVB API version in order userspace to be aware of the changes.

There are several problems with regards to the return of
FE_SET_PROPERTY. The original idea were to return per-property
return codes via tvp->result field, and to return an updated
set of values.
However, that never worked. What's actually implemented is:
- the FE_SET_PROPERTY implementation doesn't call .get_frontend
callback in order to get the actual parameters after return;
- the tvp->result field is only filled if there's no error.
So, it is always filled with zero;
- FE_SET_PROPERTY doesn't call memdup_user() nor any other
copy_to_user() function. So, any changes to the properties
will be lost;
- FE_SET_PROPERTY is declared as a write-only ioctl (IOW).
While we could fix the above, it could cause regressions.
So, let's just assume what the code really does, updating
the documentation accordingly and removing the logic that
would update the discarded tvp->result.

that points to the generic error codes;
