V4L/DVB (11798): xc5000: add "no_poweroff" module option
Provide for the ability for a user to disable putting the tuner to sleep, in case he doesn't want to incur the cost of reloading the firmware when starting up his/her application. The module options are intentionally identical to xc3028. Signed-off-by: Devin Heitmueller <dheitmueller@kernellabs.com> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@redhat.com>
