Hi Chris,

Please better describe your patches. It is not clear what you're
wanting to do on them.

A good patch should contain a detailed explanation about it,
describing the changes with some detail. Please don't be shy in it.

In this specific case, I'm seeing that you're doing some changes at
SNR, but it is not clear if the change is just extending the range
of a SNR relative measurement, or if you need that change to put
the unit as 0.1dB (that's the default unit that most DVBv3 stats
do).

Also, while you are there, the better is to add support on this
driver for DVBv5 stats, were the units of each statistics is properly
docummented.

For this reason, I'll this this patch and your next ones as
"Changes requested" at patchwork. Please re-submit them when ready.

Thanks!
Mauro
