Quoting myself from three years ago, I propose to add an interface to
read SNR in units of db/100:

S2API currently implements none of the signal quality measurement
commands that v3 knows about. Nevertheless, it should be easy to add a
property:
/* SNR in units of dB/100 */
#define DTV_SNR 44
If a driver does not implement this property, the core should return an
error (i.e. set dtv_property.result to a non-zero value, e.g. -EOPNOTSUPP).
