saa7134 tuner problem solved

Hi,

I found a bug in the saa7134 driver that prevented kdetv from setting the
tuner frequency. Apparently, the VIDIOC_G_TUNER ioctl does not set the
tuner type field in the v4l2_tuner structure. Instead, this value remains
as 0, which is the tuner type kdetv then passes to the VIDIOC_S_FREQUENCY
ioctl, resulting in an invalid parameter error.

Here is a patch to fix the problem (made for Kernel 2.6.13.2):

I have posted the same message on the video4linux mailing list, in hope that
the bug will be fixed by the next kernel release.
