The DVB documentation was negligected for a long time, with
resulted on several gaps between the API description and its
documentation.
I'm doing a new reading at the documentation. As result of it,
this series:
- improves the introductory chapter, making it more generic;
- Do some adjustments at the frontend API, using kernel-doc
when possible.
- Remove unused APIs at DVB demux. I suspect that the drivers
implementing such APIs were either never merged upstream,
or the API itself were never used or was deprecated a long
time ago. In any case, it doesn't make any sense to carry
on APIs that aren't properly documented, nor are used on the
upstream Kernel.
With this patch series, the gap between documentation and
code is solved for 3 DVB APIs:
- Frontend API;
- Demux API;
- Net API.
There is still a gap at the CA API that I'll try to address when I
have some time[1].
[1] There's a gap also on the legacy audio, video and OSD APIs,
but, as those are used only by a single very old deprecated
hardware (av7110), it is probably not worth the efforts.
