This patch adds retrieval of firmware and FPGA versions of Genpix devices.
That information is useful for users who experience performance differences
with the various firmware versions, and may want to use a specific firmware
that best suits their needs.
Example dmesg output:
gp8psk: FW Version = 2.09.4 (0x20904) Build 2009/04/02
gp8psk: FPGA Version = 1

This patch converts the gp8psk module to use the S2API.
It pretends to be DVB-S2 capable in order to allow the various
supported modulations (8PSK, QPSK-Turbo, etc), and keep software
compatibility with the S2API patches for Mythtv and VDR.

There are now 4 different versions of the GENPIX USB adapter. The
newest 'Skywalker' models are fully self-contained, and need no
additional hardware to be used. A very reliable DVB-S card even without
using any of the alternate modulatations (which this kernel module does
not currently support)
The following patch adds support for all 4 versions of the genpix
adapter (www.genpix-electronics.com).

This is a patch which includes support for the GENPIX 8PSK->USB module. The
board supports QPSK, BPSK and 8PSK decoding (though I don't think it will be
DVB-S2 compliant) With the following patch, the boad is equivalent to a budget
card (no CA Module)
The patch which adds 8psk suppot will follow, but is seperate, as it requires
DVB-S2 support
More info on the board can be found at www.genpix-electronics.com (and they
host the requisite firmwares there as well)
