This is a static checker patch and I don't have the hardware to test
this, so please review it carefully.  The dvbs2_snr_tab[] array has 80
elements so when we cap it at 80, that's off by one.  I would have
assumed that the test was wrong but in the lines right before we have
the same test but use "snr_reading - 1" as the array offset.  I've done
the same thing here.

hi dan,

perhaps it is more useful to do it in the check above ?
thinking about that why not replace the number (80) with ARRAY_SIZE() ?

It looks like the check is correct but we need to shift all the
values by one.  Again, I don't have this hardware, I'm just going by
the context.

That would be a cleanup, yes but it could go in a separate patch.

I do not have the hardware either so this is pure theoretical.

Access to the data field depends on the value of dvbs2_noise_reading/tmp
even when the data are reasonable like 50/100 snr_reading would become 0
and the index suddenly is -1.

just my 2 cents.

It's a good point.  I will redo the patch.

Sorry, I've decided to bail on this.  The original code is buggy but
I don't know what's going on well enough to fix it with any
confidence.
