media: dvb uAPI docs: Prefer use "Digital TV instead of "DVB" The usage of the term "DVB" at the dvb API docs is confusing, as, right now, it can refer to either the European digital TV standard or to the subsystem. So, prefer calling it as "Digital TV" on most places, to avoid ambiguity. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com>

========
[media] docs-rst: Convert DVB uAPI to use C function references Name all ioctl references and make them match the ioctls that are documented. That will improve the cross-reference index, as it will have all ioctls and syscalls there. While here, improve the documentation, marking the deprecated ioctls, and making the non-deprecated ones more like the rest of the media book. Also, add a notice for ioctls that still require documentation. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com>

[media] docs-rst: convert uAPI structs to C domain instead of declaring the uAPI structs using usual refs, e. g.: .. _foo-struct: Use the C domain way: .. c:type:: foo_struct This way, the kAPI documentation can use cross-references to point to the uAPI symbols.

obtain information about driver and hardware capabilities. The ioctl
takes a pointer to dvb_frontend_info which is filled by the driver.
When the driver is not compatible with this specification the ioctl
returns an error.
frontend capabilities
=====================
Capabilities describe what a frontend can do. Some capabilities are
supported only on some specific frontend types.
media: dvb frontend docs: use kernel-doc documentation Now that frontend.h contains most documentation for the frontend, remove the duplicated information from Documentation/ and use the kernel-doc auto-generated one instead. That should simplify maintainership of DVB frontend uAPI, as most of the documentation will stick with the header file. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com>

The frontend capabilities are described at :c:type:`fe_caps`.

media: dvb uAPI docs: adjust return value ioctl descriptions There are several issues on the return value for ioctls: - Text is confusing; - Some error codes don't exist; - The non-generic error codes should come before the text that points to the generic error codes; - Tables don't contain column size hints; - Some references are not marked as such. Correct them. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com>

appropriately.
