The pvrusb2 driver has been successfully recovering from a crashed
encoder now for over 2 years. I think it's time to reduce the
perceived severity of the warning message. While I'd still very much
like to stop these crashes, the recovery logic is solid enough that
the problem is effectively benign. No point in panicing the users
over it.

The pvrusb2 driver currently supports two variants of the Hauppauge
PVR USB2. However there are other hardware types potentially
supportable, but the driver at the moment is not structured to make it
easy to describe these minor variations. This changeset is the first
set of changes to make such additional device support possible.
Device attributes are held in several tables all contained within
pvrusb2-devattr.c; all other device-specific driver behavior now
derives from these tables.

This is a new implementation for video pipeline control within the
pvrusb2 driver. Actual start/stop of the pipeline is moved to the
driver's kernel thread. Pipeline stages are controlled autonomously
based on surrounding pipeline or application control state. Kernel
thread management is also cleaned up and moved into the internal
control structure of the driver, solving a set up / tear down race
along the way. Better failure recovery is implemented with this new
control strategy. Also with this change comes better control of the
cx23416 encoder, building on additional information learned about the
peculiarities of controlling this part (this information was the
original trigger for this rework). With this change, overall encoder
stability should be considerably improved. Yes, this is a large
change for this driver, but due to the nature of the feature being
worked on, the changes are fairly pervasive and would be difficult to
break into smaller pieces with any semblence of step-wise stability.

This patch originated with Servaas Vandenberghe <vdb128@picaros.org>
and has been further developed a bit (to preserve saa7115 behavior).
These changes allow for correct operation of PAL-60 video (Servaas
tested this against a PAL-B/G tuner with the video standard overridden
as a module option).

This is a maintainability cleanup; use nice names for all the FX2
commands instead of raw bytes. This way we can easily find where we
issue FX commands.

Clean up and tighten logic involving stream configuration. This
mainly involves changes to pvrusb2-v4l2.c, where we better clarify how
we use the stream configuration enum and implement a cleaner means to
control streaming for a given device node.

This is the logic that supports switching modes via e.g.,
echo radio > /sys/class/pvrusb2/sn-*/ctl_input/cur_val.
To do the mode switching we need to:
a) broadcast AUDC_SET_RADIO and
b) issue the CX2341X_ENC_MUTE_VIDEO command to the encoder.
The first is done by adding a new pvr2_i2c_op and having it trigger on
input change, the second by adding this command in pvr2_encoder_start()
and requesting an encoder restart on input change by setting
stale_subsys_mask appropriately.
The clues about AUDC_SET_RADIO and CX2341X_ENC_MUTE_VIDEO were kindly
provided by Hans Verkuil on the pvrusb2 mailing list. The idea to
implement mode switching this way (on input change) is due to Mike Isely.
Why AUDC_SET_RADIO/VIDIOC_S_STD are used for switching? I can 't be sure,
but I think this can be traced to a cornell student being the first to
implement radio support in ivtv "as a different standard". I think the
rest just evolved from there (it 's in the ivtv ML archives).

Implement V4L2 driver for the Hauppauge PVR USB2 TV tuner.
The Hauppauge PVR USB2 is a USB connected TV tuner with an embedded
cx23416 hardware MPEG2 encoder. There are two major variants of this
device; this driver handles both. Any V4L2 application which
understands MPEG2 video stream data should be able to work with this
device.
