V4L/DVB (5315): Tda1004x: check request firmware for NULL ponter again
In older versions, this was used to decide whether to boot from
eeprom or file. This is no longer necessary but the check helps to avoid
an oops with misconfigured cards.
V4L/DVB (5314): Added support for tda827x tuners with preamlifiers
This patch contains
- new tuning code for the tda827xa silicon tuner.
- controls the preamplifier of some boards with this tuner.
- support for the Philips Tiger S hybrid DVB-T reference design.
- reworked the saa7134-dvb modulue to get rid of most of the
small board specific functions.
V4L/DVB (5313): Added a config entry and a gpio function pointer to tuner struct
These entries mainly are to support configurations of the tda827x
silicon tuner with a preamplifier.
The values can be set throgh the attach inform or through
the extended TUNER_SET_TYPE_ADDR client call. The function pointer
will only be updated if the parameter is not NULL.
Since a typecast is necessary to set the pointer, i added a typedef for
this pointer (tuner_gpio_func_t) in tuner.h
There are the following changes:
- separate configuration of IF and GPIOs.
- set GPIOs before firmware load. This helps to avoid I2C address
collisions.
- if desired invert GPIOs at sleep (automatic return to analog mode of card).
- added 3 tuner configuration bytes to config stuct.
- added i2c gate address to config struct.
- moved _state struct declaration to header file to make it accessible
on board layer.
- added "conf_probed" to the state struct to allow i.e. probing for correct
tuner version.
- changed firmware load mechanism to always:
+ check if already loaded
+ try to boot from eeprom
+ try downlad from host
- corrected name of tda10046 firmware image (backward compatible).

gcc 4.1 doesn't seem to like const variables as inline assembly
outputs. Drop support for reading 64-bit values using get_user() so
that we can use an unsigned long to hold the result regardless of the
actual size. This should be safe since many architectures, including
i386, doesn't support reading 64-bit values with get_user().
Reorder some instructions and change the register usage to reduce
the number of pipeline stalls. Also use the bfextu and bfins
instructions for bitfield manipulations instead of shifting and
masking.
This makes gzipping a 80MB file approximately 2% faster.
Since the core setup code takes care of both allocation and
reservation of framebuffer memory, there's no need for this board-

fbmem_start and fbmem_size, which can be used directly.
[AVR32] Reserve framebuffer memory in early_parse_fbmem()
With the current strategy of using the bootmem allocator to allocate
or reserve framebuffer memory, there's a slight chance that the
requested area has been taken by the boot allocator bitmap before we
get around to reserving it.
By inserting the framebuffer region as a reserved region as early as
possible, we improve our chances for success and we make the region
visible as a reserved region in dmesg and /proc/iomem without any
extra work.
