Instead of using the DTV properties cache directly, pass the get
frontend data as an argument. For now, everything should remain
the same, but the next patch will prevent get_frontend to
affect the global cache.

This is needed because several drivers don't care enough to only
change the properties if locked. Due to that, calling
G_PROPERTY before locking on those drivers will make them to
never lock. Ok, those drivers are crap and should never be
merged like that, but the core should not rely that the drivers
would be doing the right thing.

The DVB API was originally defined using typedefs. This is against
Kernel CodingStyle, and there's no good usage here. While we can't
remove its usage on userspace, we can avoid its usage in Kernelspace.

So, let's do it.

This patch was generated by this shell script:

	for j in $(grep typedef include/uapi/linux/dvb/frontend.h |cut -d' ' -f 3); do for i in $(find drivers/media -name '*.[ch]' -type f) $(find drivers/staging/media -name '*.[ch]' -type f); do sed "s,${j}_t,enum $j," &lt;$i &gt;a &amp;&amp; mv a $i; done; done

While here, make CodingStyle fixes on the affected lines.

The buffer size is 6 and not 8. Anyway, the best is to use sizeof(),

<title>[media] stb0899_drv: Don't use dynamic static allocation</title>

<content type='text'>
Dynamic static allocation is evil, as Kernel stack is too low, and
compilation complains about it on some archs:
	drivers/media/dvb-frontends/stb0899_drv.c:540:1: warning: 'stb0899_write_regs' uses dynamic stack allocation [enabled by default]
Instead, let's enforce a limit for the buffer. Considering that I2C
transfers are generally limited, and that devices used on USB has a
max data length of 64 bytes for	the control URBs.
So, it seem safe to use 64 bytes as the hard limit for all those devices.
 On most cases, the limit is a way lower than that, but	this limit
is small enough to not affect the Kernel stack, and it is a no brain
limit, as using smaller ones would require to either carefully each
driver or to take a look on each datasheet.

Usually, inversion doesn't change in a system. Storing the last

Looks like product datasheets for tuners containing STB0899 are
suggesting specification for min. symbol rate of 2MS/s.
Some specs found here, all suggesting 2MS/s for min. symbol rate:
    Comtech DVBS2-6899

    Azurewave AD-SP400
      http://www.pulsat.com/products/AzureWave-AD%252dSP400-High-Definition-PC-Card.html
New patch:
This makes minimum symbol rate driver capabilities on par with some
accessible datasheet specifications*, and allows tuning on linux to
transponders that have symbol rate between 2000000-5000000, too.
Patch was tested successfully on Eutelsat 16A transponders that
became reachable with it (2000000 &lt; symbol rate &lt; 5000000):
