V4L/DVB (4202): allow selecting CX2341x port mode
CX2341X port was always set to 'memory', but 'streaming' is also possible ivtv uses the memory (DMA) interface with the CX2341X, while pvrusb2 and cx88-blackbird use the streaming interface. This setting is now selectable by the driver. Signed-off-by: Hans Verkuil <hverkuil@xs4all.nl> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@infradead.org>

Name CX2341X_ENC_SET_OUTPUT_PORT
Enum 187/0xBB
Description
- Assign stream output port (not recommended you change setting from default)
+ Assign stream output port. Normally 0 when the data is copied through
+ the PCI bus (DMA), and 1 when the data is streamed to another chip
+ (pvrusb and cx88-blackbird).
Param[0]
0=Memory (default)
1=Streaming
2=Serial
+Param[1]
+ Unknown, but leaving this to 0 seems to work best. Indications are that
+ this might have to do with USB support, although passing anything but 0
+ onl breaks things.
