The structure is packed, which requires that all its fields need to be
also packed.

./include/uapi/linux/dvb/frontend.h:854:2: warning: field  within 'struct dtv_stats' is less aligned than 'union dtv_stats::(anonymous at ./include/uapi/linux/dvb/frontend.h:854:2)' and is usually due to 'struct dtv_stats' being packed, which can lead to unaligned accesses [-Wunaligned-access]

Explicitly set the inner union as packed.

Marking the inner union as 'packed' does not change the layout, since the
whole struct is already packed, it just silences the clang warning. See
also this llvm discussion:

This commit is adding the missing short FEC
Missed on commit 6508a50fe84f9858e8b59b53dce3847aaeeab744

More info: https://dvb.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/A083-2r2_DVB-S2X_Draft-EN-302-307-2-v131_Feb_2021.pdf
Table 1: S2X System configurations and application areas

Please note that 128APSK, 256APSK and 256APSK-L
and FEC 29/45, 31/45 are still missing from enums.

Extend the DVB frontend parameter enums with additional values specified
by the DVB-C2 (ETSI EN 302 769) and DVB-S2X (ETSI EN 302 307-2)
standards to be ready for frontend drivers for such receivers.

While most parameters will be "read-only" due to being autodetected by
the receiver and only being reported back for informational purposes,
the addition of SYS_DVBC2 to the delivery systems enum is required,
because there are DVB-C2 capable receivers which are not capable of
DVB-C/C2 autodetection and thus need this enum value to be explicitly
instructed to search for a DVB-C2 signal.

As for DVB-S2X, as that is an extension to DVB-S2, the same delivery
system enum as for DVB-S2 can be used.

Add the additional enum values and comments to the documentation.

<title>media: dvb_frontend: add physical layer scrambling support</title>

<id>f9d79126195374c285035777b9d6abd24ceba363</id>
<content type='text'>
This commit adds a new property DTV_SCRAMBLING_SEQUENCE_INDEX.

This 18 bit field, when present, carries the index of the DVB-S2 physical
layer scrambling sequence as defined in clause 5.5.4 of EN 302 307.
There is no explicit signalling method to convey scrambling sequence index
to the receiver. If S2 satellite delivery system descriptor is available
it can be used to read the scrambling sequence index (EN 300 468 table 41).

By default, gold scrambling sequence index 0 is used. The valid scrambling
sequence index range is from 0 to 262142.

Increase the DVB API version in order userspace to be aware of the changes.

There are some nested structs on this header, with aren't
properly document them.

This should solve some warnings after the addition of
a patche at kernel-doc adding support for nested structs/unions.

<title>License cleanup: add SPDX license identifier to uapi header files with a license</title>

Many user space API headers have licensing information, which is either
incomplete, badly formatted or just a shorthand for referring to the
license under which the file is supposed to be.  This makes it hard for
compliance tools to determine the correct license.

Update these files with an SPDX license identifier.  The identifier was
chosen based on the license information in the file.

GPL/LGPL licensed headers get the matching GPL/LGPL SPDX license
identifier with the added 'WITH Linux-syscall-note' exception, which is
the officially assigned exception identifier for the kernel syscall
exception:

   NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel
   services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use
   of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work".

This exception makes it possible to include GPL headers into non GPL
code, without confusing license compliance tools.

Headers which have either explicit dual licensing or are just licensed
under a non GPL license are updated with the corresponding SPDX
identifier and the GPLv2 with syscall exception identifier.  The format
is:
        ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR SPDX-ID-OF-OTHER-LICENSE)

SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding shorthand, which can be
used instead of the full boiler plate text.  The update does not remove
existing license information as this has to be done on a case by case
basis and the copyright holders might have to be consulted. This will
happen in a separate step.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.  See the previous patch in this series for the
methodology of how this patch was researched.
