Hi Klaus,

The patch didn't apply. It seems to be due to your emailer that mangled the
whitespaces. 

The patch looks correct on my eyes. Yet, I'd like to have Manu's ack on it.

This is not needed, as strength is not initialized only on invalid delivery systems,
where -EINVAL is returned.

PS.: Another alternative for it would be the enclosed patch,
wich will be a little simpler, and will also preserve the slope 
on the boundary values, used at the stb0899_table_lookup()
interpolation logic.

[PATCH] stb0899: fix the limits for signal strength values

The current minimal measures for strengh is 750 - 950, for table
stb0899_dvbsrf_tab[], and 750 - 999, for stb0899_dvbs2rf_tab[].
Both are negative values. However, the strength measure is unsigned.

Don't allow negative values for strengh to underflow. Instead,
shift the scale, in order to have 0 as the lowest strength.
