stb0899_read_signal_strength() adds an offset to the result of the table lookup.
That offset must correspond to the lowest value in the lookup table, to make sure
the result doesn't get below 0, which would mean a "very high" value since the
parameter is unsigned.
'strength' and 'snr' need to be initialized to 0 to make sure they have a
defined result in case there is no "internal->lock".

Hi Klaus,
The patch didn't apply. It seems to be due to your emailer that mangled the
whitespaces.
The patch looks correct on my eyes. Yet, I'd like to have Manu's ack on it.

[PATCH] stb0899: fix the limits for signal strength values
The current minimal measures for strengh is 750 - 950, for table
stb0899_dvbsrf_tab[], and 750 - 999, for stb0899_dvbs2rf_tab[].
Both are negative values. However, the strength measure is unsigned.
Don't allow negative values for strengh to underflow. Instead,
shift the scale, in order to have 0 as the lowest strength.

What about the 'if' conditions within the valid delivery system cases?
For instance
case SYS_DSS:
if (internal->lock) {
...
if (STB0899_GETFIELD(VSTATUS_LOCKEDVIT, reg)) {
...
*strength = ...
}
}
break;
So there may be cases where strength has an undefined value, even
if this function returns 0.

Well, as long as there are no negative values for strength...
However, I don't quite see why the range is 750 - 950 for DVB-S
and 750 - 999 for DVB-S2. Shouldn't this be the same maximum
value in both cases?

This is a very good question. Unfortunately, I don't have the datasheets
for this device.
Manu shold be able to answer that better than me.
Based on the table lookup routine, I suspect that what those tables
are doing are to interpolate some log curve by breaking it into a
few straight line segments. Changing from 999 to 950 will affect
such interpolation. So, it is better to check this at the datasheets
before changing from -999 to -950, or from -750 to -950.
Manu,
Could you please review it?
Thanks!
