[media] dib8000: Don't let tuner hang due to a call to get_frontend()
Both dvbv5-scan and dvbv5-zap tools call FE_GET_PROPERTY inside the
loop that checks for stats. If the frontend doesn't support DVBv5, it
falls back to call the DVBv5 stats APIs(FE_READ_BER, FE_READ_SIGNAL,
FE_READ_SNR and FE_READ_UNCORRECTED_BLOCKS).
A call to FE_GET_PROPERTY makes dvb-frontend core to call get_frontend().
However, due to a race condition on dib8000 between dib8000_get_frontend
and dib8000_tune, if get_frontend occurs too early, it causes the
tune state machine to fail and not get any lock.
This patch adds a workaround code that makes get_frontend() to just
return if none of the frontends have a SYNC. This change fixed the issue
with dvbv5-scan/dvbv5-zap, but a fine-tuned logic might be needed in
the future, when we implement DVBv5 stats on this frontend.
The procedure to test the bug and the fix is the one below:
1) tune into a non-existing frequency with:
$ dvbv5-zap -I dvbv5 -c non_existing_freqs -m
679142857 -t3
2) tune/lock into an existing frequency with:
$ dvbv5-zap -I dvbv5 -c isdb-test -m
479142857
or
$ dvbv5-scan isdb-test
In this case, 679 MHz carrier doesn't exist. Only 479 MHz does.
