When someone added the front-end ioctl FE_SET_FRONTEND_TUNE_MODE, they
forgot to set the return value to 0. It always returns EOPNOTSUPP,
causing problems for programmers who actually check for error conditions.
It's amazing that a bug like this could go so long unnoticed. Am I
the only programmer who bothers to check if their ioctls() fail?
