    [media] rtl2832: add support for GoTView MasterHD 3 USB tuner · 699dcffc
    Olli Salonen authored
    GoTView MasterHD 3 is a DVB-T2/C USB 2.0 tuner.
    
    It's based on the following components:
    - USB bridge: RTL2832P (contains also DVB-T demodulator)
    - Demodulator: Si2168-A30
    - Tuner: Si2148-A20
    
    The demodulator and the tuner will need firmwares. The Si2148 uses Si2158
    firmware. Antti has the firmwares available for download:
    http://palosaari.fi/linux/v4l-dvb/firmware/
    
    Do note that for DVB-T either of the demodulators can be used. DVB-C and
    DVB-T2 are only supported by the Si2168 demodulator. The driver will
    register 2 frontends for the same adapter. Frontend 0 will be the RTL2832
    demodulator and frontend 1 will be the Si2168 demodulator. The same
    tuner is used for both.
    
    As a consequence of the above, it's recommended to use application that
    does implement proper DVBv5 support.
    
    For some reason, the old I2C write method sporadically fails. Thus the
    need for an option to only use the new I2C write method supported by the
    RTL2832.
