Hello,
The following patch broke our userspace software builds. While it does
preserve BINARY compatibility, it breaks SOURCE compatibility as the parameter
names have changed. I don't see the rationale for breaking compatibility in
the patch description.
Please consider reverting to the old names. In other words, please remove that
_LEGACY suffix non-sense or at least define aliases. Thank you.

[media] dvb_frontend: add multistream support
Unify multistream support at the DVBAPI: several delivery systems
allow it. Yet, each one had its own name. So, instead of adding
a third version of this field, remove the per-standard naming,
unifying it into a common name.
The legacy code number can still be used by old applications.
Version increased to 5.8.
