This standard is not properly documented, but its settings are at
the tda18271dd driver, and are somewhat obvious, as they follow
the same logic as DVB-T 7MHz.
There is a bug on mxl5005s logic: when the bandwidth changes, but using
the same delivery system, the code discard the set_params()
reconfiguration request.
This was happening because, in the previous coding, the bandwidth
calculus were after the check for delivery system changes.
The previous patch changed the logic to estimate the bandwidth to
happend together with the changes at the delivery system.
So, with a one-statement change, it is possible to make the tuner to
reconfigure, in order to adjust to bandwidth changes. this will
likely fix issues on countries that use 7MHz/8MHz DVB-T channels.
[media] mt2031: remove fake implementaion of get_bandwidth()
This driver implements a fake get_bandwidth() callback. In
reallity, the tuner driver won't adjust its low-pass
filter based on a bandwidth, and were just providing a fake
method for demods to read whatever was "set".
This code is useless, as none of the drivers that use
this tuner seems to require a get_bandwidth() callback.
While here, convert set_params to use the DVBv5 way to pass
parameters to tuners.

[media] dvb_core: estimate bw for all non-terrestial systems
Instead of just estimating the bandwidth for DVB-C annex A/C,
also fill it at the core for ATSC and DVB-C annex B. This
simplifies the logic inside the tuners, as all non-satellite
tuners can just use c->bandwidth_hz for all supported
delivery systems.
It could make sense to latter use it also for satellite
systems, as several DVB-S drivers have their own calculus.
However, on DVB-S2 the bw estimation is a little more complex,
and the existing drivers have some optimized calculus for
bandwidth. So, let's not touch on it for now.
[media] dvb: replace SYS_DVBC_ANNEX_AC by the right delsys
SYS_DVBC_ANNEX_AC is an alias for SYS_DVBC_ANNEX_A. However,
the first one is incorrect, as not all devices support both.
So, replace its occurrences by the proper value (either
SYS_DVBC_ANNEX_A or both SYS_DVBC_ANNEX_A and SYS_DVBC_ANNEX_C).
dvb_register calls videobuf_dvb_register_bus, but if that returns
a failure the module will be unloaded without clearing the
value of core->gate_ctrl which will cause an oops in macros
called from video_open in cx88-video.c

[media] s5p-fimc: Add support for alpha component configuration
On Exynos SoCs the FIMC IP allows to configure globally the alpha
component of all pixels for V4L2_PIX_FMT_RGB32, V4L2_PIX_FMT_RGB555
and V4L2_PIX_FMT_RGB444 image formats. This patch adds a v4l2 control
in order to let the applications control the alpha component value.
The alpha value range depends on the pixel format, for RGB32 it's
0..255 (8-bits), for RGB555 - 0..1 (1-bit) and for RGB444 - 0..15
(4-bits). The v4l2 control range is always 0..255 and the alpha
component data width is determined by currently set format on the
V4L2_BUF_TYPE_VIDEO_CAPTURE_MPLANE buffer queue. The applications
need to match the alpha channel value range and the pixel format
since the driver will clamp the alpha component. Depending on
fourcc the valid alpha bits are:
When switching to a pixel format with smaller alpha component width
the currently set alpha value will be clamped to maximum value valid
for current format. When switching to a format with wider alpha the
alpha value remains unchanged.
The variant description data structure is extended with a new entry
so an additional control is created only where really supported by
the hardware.
V4L2_PIX_FMT_RGB555 and V4L2_PIX_FMT_RGB444 formats are only valid
for V4L2_BUF_TYPE_VIDEO_CAPTURE buffer queue.
The V4L2_CID_ALPHA_COMPONENT control is intended for the video capture
or memory-to-memory devices that are capable of setting up the per-pixel
alpha component to some arbitrary value. It allows to set the alpha
component for all pixels to an arbitrary value.

When writing to an array that is undergoing recovery (a spare
in being integrated into the array), writing to the array will
set bits in the bitmap, but they will not be cleared when the
write completes.
For bits covering areas that have not been recovered yet this is not a
problem as the recovery will clear the bits. However bits set in

This doesn't risk data integrity. The only negatives are:
- next time there is a crash, more resyncing than necessary will
be done.
- the bitmap doesn't look clean, which is confusing.
While an array is recovering we don't want to update the
'events_cleared' setting in the bitmap but we do still want to clear
bits that have very recently been set - providing they were written to
the recovering device.
So split those two needs - which previously both depended on 'success'

Also the loop does other things like count the available spares and
reset the 'recovery_offset' value.
If we abort early these might not happen properly.
So remove the early abort.
In particular if you have an array what is undergoing recovery and
which has extra spares, then the recovery may not restart after as
reboot as the could of 'spares' might end up as zero.
