[PATCH] Fix default state Beholder H6 tuner.

Hi

The hybrid tuner FMD1216MEX_MK3 after cold start has disabled IF.
This tuner has internal I2C switch. This switch switch I2C bus between DVB-T and IF part.
Default state is DVB-T. When module saa7134 is load it can't find IF tda9887 and disable
analog TV mode.

This patch set internal I2C switch of the tuner to IF by send special value to the tuner as for receive
analog TV from low band. It can be usefule for other cards.

I didn't set configure a tuner by a tuner model because this tuner can has different I2C address.
May be we can do it later after discuss for more robust support a tuners.

just as a reminder. It is the same for the FMD1216ME hybrid MK3.
After every boot, analog mode fails with missing tda9887.

Currently, after tuner modules are not independent anymore, one has to
reload the saa7134 driver once.

Relevant code in tuner.core.c.

	case TUNER_PHILIPS_FMD1216ME_MK3:
		buffer[0] = 0x0b;
		buffer[1] = 0xdc;
		buffer[2] = 0x9c;
		buffer[3] = 0x60;
		i2c_master_send(c, buffer, 4);
		mdelay(1);
		buffer[2] = 0x86;
		buffer[3] = 0x54;
		i2c_master_send(c, buffer, 4);
		if (!dvb_attach(simple_tuner_attach, &t->fe,
				t->i2c->adapter, t->i2c->addr, t->type))
			goto attach_failed;
		break;

That is good. I'll try add case TUNER_PHILIPS_FMD1216MEX_MK3 here and test.
This is much better.

it wont work for any what I can tell.

We were forced into such an universal looking solution, but it was
broken only a short time later.

I for sure don't say that this time, late 2005, it was in anyway
perfect, too much random on module load orders and also duplicate
address stuff around meanwhile.

But, however, it seems to be blocked for a global attempt within the
current schemes too.

Hermann

Yes. Not worked. My patch is good for our customers right now. But when this subsystem is ready we can switch
to use it.
