From 4c12adad26f059fa207d6b07aa61f39bc459211b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Howells Date: Thu, 9 Apr 2015 16:36:49 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] [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.
