Restore ds3000.c read_signal_strength.

Call tuner get_rf_strength from frontend read_signal_strength.

We are able to do a NULL check and doesn't limit the tuner
attach to the frontend attach area.

At the moment the lmedm04 tuner attach is stuck in frontend
attach area.

I would like to nack that, as I see some problems:
1) it changes deviation against normal procedures
2) interface driver (usb/pci) should have full control to make decision
3) you shoot to our own leg easily in power management

* actually bug 3) already happened some drivers, like rtl28xxu. Tuner is 
behind demod and demod is put sleep => no access to tuner. FE callback 
is overridden (just like you are trying to do as default) which means 
user-space could still make queries => I/O errors.

This patch does not do any operational changes, and is a proper way to
call to another module with a run time NULL check. The same way as
another tuner function from demodulator is called.

In such cases, the tuner init/sleep should also be called.

uh, certainly I understand it does not change functionality in that 
case! I tried to point out it is logically insane and error proof. Ee 
should make this kind of direct calls between drivers as less as 
possible - just to make life easier in future. It could work for you, 
but for some other it could cause problems as hardware is designed 
differently.

???????
I think you don't understand functionality at all!

See that bug report, I was referring
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.video-input-infrastructure/48216

It is not long time I added checks to DVB-core to avoid it calling 
statistics IOCTLs if frontend is not active.

But simply, it is situation your demod driver should not make decision 
whether statistics are asked from the tuner or not. It is decision that 
should be left to interface driver. It is single line of code to 
override that logic in interface driver - or add even some other logic 
how to perform measurement and in which condition. Interface driver is 
driver which knows best power-management etc. related stuff.

Please, I have been working with the I2C bus in the electronics field
for the last 20 years.

If you are really worried about the the tuner being a sleep. You add
fe variable check this in it's own init/sleep and define the function
something like this.

static int fe_foo_read_signal_strength(struct dvb_frontend *fe,
	u16 *strength)
{
	struct fe_foo_state *state = fe->demodulator_priv;

	if (state->fe_inactive) {
... any extra commands to restore tuner power
		if (fe->ops.tuner_ops.init)
			fe->ops.tuner_ops.init(fe);
			
	}		

	if (fe->ops.tuner_ops.get_rf_strength)
		fe->ops.tuner_ops.get_rf_strength(fe, strength);

	if (state->fe_inactive) {
		if (fe->ops.tuner_ops.sleep)
			fe->ops.tuner_ops.sleep(fe);
... any extra commands to remove tuner power
	}

	return 0;
}

However, I think this is unnecessary in the rs2000 and ds3000.

Regards


Malcolm
