Hi all,
this patch replaces the previous one proposed in the thread "xc3028:
force reload of DTV7 firmware in VHF band with Zarlink demodulator".
The problem is that the firmware DTV78 works fine in UHF band (8 MHz
bandwidth) but is not working at all in VHF band (7 MHz bandwidth).
Reading the comments inside the code, I figured out that the real
problem could be connected to the formula used to calculate the center
frequency offset in VHF band.

In fact, removing this adjustment fixed the problem:

		if ((priv->cur_fw.type & DTV78) && freq < 470000000)
			offset -= 500000;

This is coherent to what was implemented for the DTV7 firmware by an
Australian user:

		if (priv->cur_fw.type & DTV7)
			offset += 500000;

In the end, the center frequency is the same for all firmwares (DTV7,
DTV8, DTV78) and for both 7 and 8 MHz bandwidth.
Probably, a further offset is hardcoded directly into the firmwares, to
compensate the difference between 7 and 8 MHz bandwidth.

The final code looks clean and simple, and there is no need for any
"magic" adjustment:

		if (priv->cur_fw.type & DTV6)
			offset = 1750000;
		else	/* DTV7 or DTV8 or DTV78 */
			offset = 2750000;

Best regards,
Gianluca Gennari

Updated center frequency calculation to fix VHF band reception
with firmware DTV78.
The adjustment for DTV78 is not needed anymore with new
firmwares, since the offset is not depending anymore on the
bandwidth or the firmware version (at least for DTV7, DTV8, DTV78).

The above comment is better than the one inside the patch. Just add it there
when submitting the final review.

Yet, I don't think this is right, at least for firmware 2.7 and bellow.

What happens with xc3028 devices is that the frequency of the DLL is set to a
"reference" frequency, and not to the center frequency. The reference frequency
is 1.25 MHz after the lower frequency.

The standard-specific firmwares could also have an extra offset, as well as the
S-CODE tables. In general, the offset for them are 200 kHz, but it seems that

Not sure if you're aware, but you can look on each firmware with an userspace tool
that is part of v4l-utils:

I did a quick check here with firmware v2.7. The standard firmwares for DTV7 and DTV8 are equal.
The firmware for DTV78 has one byte with a different value. So, it seems that the offset for
DVB7 should be different than the one for DVB8.

Mauro

Hi Mauro,
thanks for the review and the info about the firmware tool.
The interesting thing is that DTV7 and DTV8 are identical: this means
there is no info about bandwidth coded inside them.
Also, the SCODE table (firmware 60) is the same for all 3 firmware
types: in fact, this is what is loaded when selecting a VHF frequency,
just after a replug of my Terratec stick:

[ 8701.753768] xc2028 0-0061: Loading firmware for type=BASE F8MHZ MTS
(7), id 0000000000000000.
[ 8702.804153] xc2028 0-0061: Loading firmware for type=D2633 DTV7 (90),
id 0000000000000000.
[ 8702.819274] xc2028 0-0061: Loading SCODE for type=DTV6 QAM DTV7 DTV78
DTV8 ZARLINK456 SCODE HAS_IF_4760 (620003e0), id 0000000000000000.

and the, after selecting a UHF frequency:

[ 8758.361730] xc2028 0-0061: Loading firmware for type=D2633 DTV78
(110), id 0000000000000000.
[ 8758.376951] xc2028 0-0061: Loading SCODE for type=DTV6 QAM DTV7 DTV78
DTV8 ZARLINK456 SCODE HAS_IF_4760 (620003e0), id 0000000000000000.

So, if the center frequency is indeed the same in all cases, the
variable part could be the so called "reference frequency"; this
frequency could be 1.25 MHz for 8 MHz channels and 1.75 MHz for 7 MHz
channels.

But those are just conjectures; maybe in the comment I should just
specify what I did and why I did it, removing the sentence with
"probably...".

Best regards,
Gianluca

Yes.

Yes. Anyway, the driver uses only the IF criteria to select the scode
table.

Yes. If the firmware is the same, the change between 7MHz and 8MHz should
be done via the center frequency offset adjustment.

Ok. I'll mark the current patch as RFC and wait for your next version.
