V4L/DVB (8988): S2API: Allow the properties to call legacy ioctls
SET_TONE and SET_VOLTAGE were not previously implemented. Two options
existed. Either cut/paste from the previous ioctl handler into the
process_properties function, which is code duplication. Or, split
the current ioctl handler into it's two major pieces.
Piece 1, responsible for input validation and semaphore acquiring
Piece 2 the processing of the previous ioctls
and finally, a new third pieces where the array of properties
is processed, and can freely call the legacy ioctl handler without
having to re-acquire the fepriv->sem semaphore. This is a clean approach
and ensures the existing legacy ioctls are processed as they were previously
(but with an extra function call) and allows the new API to share code
without duplication.
