Currently, the driver assumes that all QAM carriers are spaced with
8MHz. This is wrong, and may decrease QoS on Countries like Brazil,
that have DVB-C carriers with 6MHz-spaced.
Fortunately, both ITU-T J-83 and EN 300 429 specifies a way to
associate the symbol rate with the bandwidth needed for it.
For ITU-T J-83 2007 annex A, the maximum symbol rate for 6 MHz is:
6 MHz / 1.15 = 5217391 Bauds
For ITU-T J-83 2007 annex C, the maximum symbol rate for 6 MHz is:
6 MHz / 1.13 = 5309735 Bauds.
As this tuner is currently used only for DRX-K, and it is currently
hard-coded to annex A, I've opted to use the roll-off factor of 0.15,
instead of 0.13.
If we ever support annex C, the better would be to add a DVB S2API
call to allow changing between Annex A and C, and add the 0.13 roll-off
factor to it.
This code is currently being used on other frontends, so I think we
should later add a core function with this code, to warrant that
it will be properly implemented everywhere.
