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.

Adjust dvb ca.h, dmx.h and frontend.h in order to make
checkpatch happier. Now, it only complains about the typedefs,
and those are there just to provide backward userspace
compatibility.

Usually, CA messages are sent/received via reading/writing at
the CA device node. However, two drivers (dst_ca and firedtv-ci)
also implement it via ioctls.
Apparently, on both cases, the net result is the same.
Anyway, let's document it.

The av7110 driver uses CA_SET_DESCR to store the descrambler
control words at the CA descrambler slots.
Document it.

For most of the stuff there, documenting is easy, as the
header file contains information.
Yet, I was unable to document two data structs:
ca_msg and ca_descr
As those two structs are used by a few drivers, keep them.

This ioctl seems to be some attempt to support a feature
at the bt8xx dst_ca driver. Yet, as said there, it
"needs more work". Right now, the code there is just
a boilerplate.
At the end of the day, no driver uses this ioctl, nor it is
documented anywhere (except for "needs more work").
So, get rid of it.

Using typedefs inside the Kernel is against CodingStyle, and
there's no good usage here.
Just like we did at frontend.h, at commit 0df289a209e0 ("[media] dvb:
Get rid of typedev usage for enums"), let's keep those typedefs only
to provide userspace backward compatibility.
No functional changes.
