Hi, all,

This patch improves the performance of the xc5000 tuner driver.

1. Now, only one xc5000_priv struct is used for each physical tuner
   instead of one for each attach (analog/digital). This avoids potential
   inconsistence such as the status of the firmware loading changed by
   one instance of the driver and the other instance not being aware of it.
   It is based on the tuner-xc2028.c code.

2. Removed a layer of function call for xc_reset().

3. Replaced all calls to xc_wait() by a direct msleep() call (which is all
   xc_wait does).

4. Changed the xc_wait(100) in xc_write_reg() to msleep(5). The comment
   says wait 5 ms, was the 100 a typo? In any case, this improved the
   tuner performace greatly (much faster lock).

5. Added a module parameter "allow_shutdown", which is defaulted to 0.
   If enabled, the xc5000_sleep() function will indeed shutdown the
   tuner device. On the 800i, this is fine with analog, but digital
   still cannot get a lock after shutdown and reinitialized, with no
   apparent error message. Please test this on other cards.

6. Some minor clean up.

The patch is tested on the Pinnacle 800i. Before the patch, tvtime and
azap works with analog/digital tv, but with very slow tuning and
locking. Mythtv had problems with analog tv frequently (with the "errors
are encountered during video play back" message). Most likely, that was
due to the slow tuning of the xc5000.

After the patch, both analog and digital tv saw great improvements.
Mythtv can consistently lock in both analog and digital channels. I
haven't run into the video play back errors yet so far after torturing
mythtv with channel changing and switching between different input
source/multiple cards several dozen times.

I still could not get audio (analog) in mythtv, but I suspect that is a
problem with my mythtv setup rather than the driver.

Comments are welcome and please test and post your experience. Thanks!

Best,
