Hi Klaus,
The patch didn't apply. It seems to be due to your emailer that mangled the
whitespaces.
Sorry about that. Here it is again as an attachment.
The patch looks correct on my eyes. Yet, I'd like to have Manu's ack on it.

That offset must correspond to the lowest value in the lookup table, to make sure
the result doesn't get below 0, which would mean a "very high" value since the
parameter is unsigned.
'strength' and 'snr' need to be initialized to 0 to make sure they have a
defined result in case there is no "internal->lock".

This is not needed, as strength is not initialized only on invalid delivery systems,
where -EINVAL is returned.
What about the 'if' conditions within the valid delivery system cases?
For instance
case SYS_DSS:
if (internal->lock) {
...
if (STB0899_GETFIELD(VSTATUS_LOCKEDVIT, reg)) {
...
*strength = ...

}
break;
So there may be cases where strength has an undefined value, even
if this function returns 0.

interpolation logic.
Well, as long as there are no negative values for strength...
However, I don't quite see why the range is 750 - 950 for DVB-S
and 750 - 999 for DVB-S2. Shouldn't this be the same maximum
value in both cases?

[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.
