Hello again,

and thank you for the comments. 

New in this version of the patch set:

General headers:

I removed the seek level stuff and added the FM RX class. And I've added the
BAND IOCTL and I defined the three existing bands: I also added the OIRT band
because I think it's nicer to have three bands than only two.

Yes that's reasonable... But I have had one problem here: the "suspend" does not
work, but we are working on it.

I've fixed the spacing handling.

I've dropped the seek level stuff.

drivers/mfd/wl1273-core.c:

I've dropped the bitfields.

The error bits are not same as in the spec so I now copy them to the correct
positions and use the v4l2_rds_data struct.


drivers/media/radio/radio-wl1273.c:

That's true, I've removed the band stuff here.

Now the buffer gets allocated and freed only once.

Now only one reader or writer is accepted.

Added the missing controls. However, there's read-only control - I didn't add that.

Now I'm using strlcpy everywhere...

Replaced the old code with code that uses v4l2_ctrl_query_fill etc.

I've changed spacing handling quite a bit.
