A detailed description from the original patches 2 years ago:
"The WinTV-HVR3000 has a single transport bus which is shared between
a DVB-T and DVB-S modulator. These patches build on the bus acquisition
cx88 work from a few weeks ago to add support for this.
So to applications the HVR3000 looks like this:
/dev/dvb/adapter0/fe0 (cx24123 DVB-S demod)
/dev/dvb/adapter0/fe1 (cx22702 DVB-T demod)
Additional boards continue as before, eg:
/dev/dvb/adapter1/fe0 (lgdt3302 ATSC demod)
The basic change is removing the single instance of the videobuf_dvb in
cx8802_dev and saa7134_dev(?) and replacing it with a list and some
supporting functions.
*NOTE* This branch was taken before v4l-dvb was closed for 2.6.19 so
two or three current cx88 patches appear to be reversed by this tree,
this will be cleaned up in the near future. The patches missing change
the mutex handing to core->lock, fix an enumeration problem."
It should be recognised that a number of people have been maintaining
this patchset. Significant levels of Kudos to everyone one involved,
including but not limited to:
Darron Broad
Fabio M. Di Nitto
Carlo Scarfoglio
Hans Werner
Without the work of these people, and countless others, my two year old
patches would of died on the Mercurial linuxtv.org vine a long time
ago.
TODO: Revise these patches a little further so that the need for
demux1 and dvr0 is optional, not mandatory on the HVR3000.
HISTORY (darron):
This is the last update to MFE prepared by Hans which is based
upon the `scratchpad' diff created by Carlo.
All MFE work prior to that point must be attributed to Fabio
who ported and maintained Steve's original patch up to that
time.

Remove tuner_callback pointers from tuner driver configuration
and private state structures, replaced with a general-purpose
callback pointer within struct dvb_frontend.
A new parameter is added to the callback function, called
component. This allows us to use this callback pointer by
frontend components other than the tuner, if need be. So
far, this is only used by tuner drivers.

After discussion the following changes were made:
1. Removed the typedefs in frontend.h, use structures.
2. In the frontend.h, remove the 16 command limit on the API and
switch to a flexible variable length API. For practical reasons
a #define limits this to 64, this should be discussed.
3. Changed dvb-core ioctl handing to deal with variable sequences
of commands.
tune-v0.0.3.c is required to use this API, it contains the interface changes.

This is an experimental patch to add a new tuning mechanism for
dvb frontends. Rather than passing fixed structures across the
user/kernel boundary, which need to be revised for each new modulation
type (or feature the kernel developers want to add), this implements
a simpler message based approach, allowing fe commands to be broken
down into a series of small fixed size transactions, presented
in an array.
The goal is to avoid changing the user/kernel ABI in the future, by
simply creating new frontend commands (and sequencies of commands) that
help us add support for brand new demodulator, delivery system or
statistics related commmands.
known issues:
checkpatch voilations
feedback from various developers yet to be implemented, relating
to namespace conventions, variable length array passing conventions,
and generally some optimization.
This patch should support all existing tuning mechanisms through the
new API, as well as adding 8PSK, DVB-S2 NBC-QPSK and ISDB-T API support.
For testing and exercise purposes, see the latest tune.c tool
available from http://www.steventoth.net/linux/s2

Rather than using a pointer, include struct analog_demod_ops directly
inside struct dvb_frontend. This will allow us to use dvb_attach in
the future, along with removing the need to check the ops structure
before having to check the pointer to the method being called.

Currently, the only tuner-specific device that allows special
configurations is tda9887. However, tea5767 also may require some
special configurations (for example, to specify a different Xtal freq).
This patch replaces TDA9887_SET_CONFIG by a more generic internal ioctl
(TUNER_SET_CONFIG). The newer one allows specifying what tuner is
appliable to a configuration set, and allows an arbitrary configuration
struct.

Add get_rf_strength function pointer to dvb_tuner_ops, so that rf signal
strength can be read directly from the tuner driver by the dvb demodulator
driver and / or the analog tuning system.

This patch enables generic bus arbitration callbacks enabling
dvbcore frontend_open and frontend_release to pass 'acquire'
and 'release' hardware messages back into the DVB bridge frameworks.
Frameworks like cx88 can then implement single bus multiple demod
card sharing features, which would prohibit two frontends from attempting
to use a single transport bus at the same time.

The dvb_frontend_ops is a pointer inside dvb_frontend. That's why every demod-driver
is having a field of dvb_frontend_ops in its private-state-struct and
using the reference for filling the pointer-field in dvb_frontend.
- It saves at least two lines of code per demod-driver,
- reduces object size (one less dereference per frontend_ops-access),
- be coherent with dvb_tuner_ops,
- makes it a little bit easier for newbies to understand how it works and
- avoids stupid mistakes because you would have to copy the dvb_frontend_ops
always, before you could assign the static pointer directly, which was
dangerous.

Unfortunately on the budget-av board, the CAM reset line is tied to the
frontend reset line, so resetting the CAM also zaps the frontend. This
breaks the tda1004x at least, and causes it to fail to tune until the
budget-av module is reloaded. This patch adds an exported function to dvb_frontend
that allows a card to forcibly reinitialise a frontend. The budget-av now
does this on CAM reset, which corrects this problem.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
