This series is work in progress. It represents the current work done on a
virtual DVB driver for the Linux media subsystem.

I am new to the subsystem and to DTV in general, please take that into account.

Currently I have written a simple fake tuner and I have been working on
getting PSI packets into a TS stream and then feeding the stream to the
hardware-independent demux layer. I have been basing my work on ISO 13818,
ETSI EN 300 468 and on a real MPEG Transport Stream excerpt.

Changes in v2:

	Attempted not to break assignments into multiple lines as much as possible.
	Code now passes checkpatch strict mode

	media: dvb_dummy_tuner: implement driver skeleton	
		Changed snr values to mili db
		Return value from 0-100 to indicate how far off the requested
		frequency is from a valid one

		Use the frequency shift to interpolate between 34dB and 10dB if
		we can not match against the SNR lookup table
		Remove sleep calls for suspend/resume

		Fix memcpy call for the config struct

        media: dvb_dummy_fe.c: lose TS lock on bad snr
		Randomly recover the TS lock if the signal quality improves

  	media: dvb_dummy_fe.c: write PSI information into DMX buffer
		Split the patch into multiple header/source files

		Hexadecimal literals are now lower case

		Prefer short function names / reduce function signatures

		Add #defines for constants when computing section lengths

		Change signature for functions that take a dummy channel as
		argument (i.e. channels* is now channels[NUM_CHANNELS])
