No upstream drivers use it. It doesn't make any sense to have
a compat32 code for something that nobody uses upstream.

There are two places pointing to an unexisting "m.chehab@kernel.org"
email. I never had such email, so, I'm unsure how it ends there.
Anyway, it is plain wrong.
While here, use my canonical e-mail on a bunch of places that
are pointing to another e-mail. The idea is that, from now on,
all places will be pointing to the same SMTP server.

While userspace can detect discontinuity errors, it is useful to
also let Kernelspace reporting discontinuity, as it can help to
identify if the data loss happened either at Kernel or userspace side.
Update documentation accordingly.

The "reserved" field was a way, used at V4L2 API, to add new
data to existing structs without breaking userspace. However,
there are now clever ways of doing that, without needing to add
an uneeded overhead. So, get rid of them.

This commit adds a new property DTV_SCRAMBLING_SEQUENCE_INDEX.
This 18 bit field, when present, carries the index of the DVB-S2 physical
layer scrambling sequence as defined in clause 5.5.4 of EN 302 307.
There is no explicit signalling method to convey scrambling sequence index
to the receiver. If S2 satellite delivery system descriptor is available
it can be used to read the scrambling sequence index (EN 300 468 table 41).
By default, gold scrambling sequence index 0 is used. The valid scrambling
sequence index range is from 0 to 262142.
Increase the DVB API version in order userspace to be aware of the changes.

That section is too outdated and got superseded by DVBv5 and
by libdvbv5.
Maybe some day we'll end adding updated examples there, but
while nobody has time or interest of doing that, just mention
that there and get rid of the current examples for good.

There are several problems with regards to the return of
FE_SET_PROPERTY. The original idea were to return per-property
return codes via tvp->result field, and to return an updated
set of values.
However, that never worked. What's actually implemented is:
- the FE_SET_PROPERTY implementation doesn't call .get_frontend
callback in order to get the actual parameters after return;
- the tvp->result field is only filled if there's no error.
So, it is always filled with zero;
- FE_SET_PROPERTY doesn't call memdup_user() nor any other
copy_to_user() function. So, any changes to the properties
will be lost;
- FE_SET_PROPERTY is declared as a write-only ioctl (IOW).
While we could fix the above, it could cause regressions.
So, let's just assume what the code really does, updating
the documentation accordingly and removing the logic that
would update the discarded tvp->result.

Usually, CA messages are sent/received via reading/writing at
the CA device node. However, two drivers (dst_ca and firedtv-ci)
also implement it via ioctls.
Apparently, on both cases, the net result is the same.
Anyway, let's document it.

Do minor editorial changes to improve documentation readability:
- mark literals as such;
- add table markups to hint sizes;
- define what PES means;
- instead of hardcoding devnode numbers to zero (like adapter0/) use a
question mark, to indicate that multiple devnodes may exist;
- add cross-references where useful.

In the past, the documentation used to say that, if a CRC error
was found, a "-ECRC" error would be returned. That's not true:
the DVB core will just silently ignore such errors.
