Mauro Carvalho Chehab 548ad8ee68 media: dvb_frontend: warn if frontend driver has API issues
the kAPI for a frontend can use 3 different tuning methods:

1. The hardware tracks internally frequency shifts via its
   own internal zigzag logic;
2. The hardware has a custom zigzag method, implemented via
   fe search() ops;
3. The hardware doesn't have any internal zigzag logic. So,
   the Kernel needs to implement it.

Drivers that use the in-kernel software zigzag are required to
provide some parameters for the zigzag code to work. Failing
to do that will just make the Kernel to tune several times
to the very same frequency, delaying the tuning time for
no good reason. This is actually a kAPI violation
(and an uAPI one, as the frequency shift is exported to the
uAPI).

Emit a warning on such case, as the driver needs to be fixed.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
