The stv090x driver uses the lookup table for signal strength already, 
with this patch we use the lookup tables for carrier/noise ratio as well.
This has the advantage, that values for DVB-S and DVB-S2 are now 
corresponding, while before they were way off. The values are now 
proportional to real carrier/noise ratio, while before they were 
corresponding to register values. So now applications are able to give 
the user real carrier/noise ratio.

Because the output has to be within 0x0000...0xFFFF the three negative 
values for DVB-S2 are omitted. This is no significant loss, because 
reception is lost at 7.5 dB already (TT S2-1600, Cine S2), so the 
negative values are not really important, and also for DVB-S they don´t 
exist.

Instead of commenting, just truncate the value at the DVBv3 stats
function.

As, with this patch, C/N will be a properly scaled value, the best
is to add support for DVBv5 stats. With DVBv5 stats, the scale can
be sent to userspace.

Sorry, I have no plans to add DVBv5 stats, although I agree, it would be 
nice, if someone did.
