Subject: [media] dvb: Document FE_SCALE_DECIBEL units consistently
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=4c12adad26f059fa207d6b07aa61f39bc459211b;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

[media] dvb: Document FE_SCALE_DECIBEL units consistently

In comments and in the documentation, the units of properties marked
with the FE_SCALE_DECIBEL scale are specified in terms of 1/1000 dB
or 0.0001 dB.  This is inconsistent, however, as 1/1000 is 0.001,
not 0.0001.

Note that the v4l-utils divide the value by 1000 for the signal
strength suggesting that the 1/1000 is correct.

Settle on millidecibels, ie. 1/1000dB or 0.001dB.
