[linux-dvb] [PATCH] Convert GP8PSK module to use S2API
(too old to reply)

This patch converts the gp8psk module to use the S2API.
It pretends to be DVB-S2 capable in order to allow the various
supported modulations (8PSK, QPSK-Turbo, etc), and keep software
compatibility with the S2API patches for Mythtv and VDR.

Is there anything I need to do to get this committed? There are many
folks using this hardware, who would love to not need to patch their
kernel to use it.

you're always overriding the fec to FEC_AUTO. Either this line has to go
or the switch above. Do the values for the FEC in cmd[9] depend on the
modulation? You're using later after the fill_fec: label different values.

this is impossible, you return -ENOTSUPP if modulation differs

break is unneeded and returning an error instead of falling back to

Janne, Thanks for your' response. Hopefuly this patch addresses all of
your concerns.

I am not including the API changes at the moment. I'll try again on
that after this gets committed (the number of folks working with DCII is
very small, as far as I'm aware, so the other modulation types can be
handled later)

modulation?
Yes, each modulation can have completely different meanings for cmd[9]

The downside to this is that it requires more changes inside of the
user-space software to do something special with these modulations.
They really are completely different than non-turbo modes. But as the
only interesting case is Turbo-QPSK, and I'm not sure which satellites
even broadcast it, that may be ok.

I'm not an expert in DCII, and don't know much about it. This set of
code came directly from the vendor. Here is the best description of
DCII that I've seen though:

----------------------
This patch converts the gp8psk module to use the S2API.
It pretends to be DVB-S2 capable in order to allow the various
supported modulations (8PSK, QPSK-Turbo, etc), and keep software
compatibility with the S2API patches for Mythtv and VDR.

I've only limited knowledge of DVB-S so I can't really say much about it.
Your original change might be better than my suggestions.

It seemed wasteful to add 7 new modulations which might be only supported by
a single frontend. Especially if we add the FE_CAN_X flags.

I would like someone else to look at the API changes. I'll send a merge
request for this patch to the v4l-dvb maintainer. Thanks for the patch.

All changes are purely cosmetic.

I would love to see it committed to get rid of the previous EXTENDED_API in
mythtv.
