After reviewing the thread, it seems that Manu also ACKed:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-dvb/msg30422.html
He only suggested to use a shorter name.
I also prefer a shorter name, but both ways work fine. I'll let Klaus to decide
to take one of the suggested names.
IMO, "2G" Is clearer than "2ND_GEN". Also, maybe we should keep the association
with "MODULATION" at the naming. So, I vote for this name:
FE_CAN_2G_MODULATION

Yes, please. I generally wait for people to agree on such changes, then someone
will get the acks and commit on his tree, or reply at the thread asking me
to get the final patch.
Klaus,
could you prepare the final patch? and send it to me, keeping the ML C/C?
---
I can't avoid to comment a small CodingStyle issue I noticed at the patch:
+ FE_CAN_2ND_GEN_MODULATION = 0x10000000, // frontend supports "2nd generation modulation" (DVB-S2)
"//" for comments shouldn't happen, since it violates C99 syntax that it is used
on kernel.
Cheers,
Mauro
