SYNOPSIS

void dvb_frontend_sleep_until(ktime_t * waketime, u32 add_usec);

ARGUMENTS

waketime

pointer to a struct ktime_t

add_usec

time to sleep, in microseconds

DESCRIPTION

This function is used to measure the time required for the FE_DISHNETWORK_SEND_LEGACY_CMD ioctl to work. It needs to be as precise as possible, as it affects the detection of the dish tone command at the satellite subsystem.

Its used internally by the DVB frontend core, in order to emulate FE_DISHNETWORK_SEND_LEGACY_CMD using the dvb_frontend_ops.set_voltage callback.

NOTE

it should not be used at the drivers, as the emulation for the legacy callback is provided by the Kernel. The only situation where this should be at the drivers is when there are some bugs at the hardware that would prevent the core emulation to work. On such cases, the driver would be writing a dvb_frontend_ops.dishnetwork_send_legacy_command and calling this function directly.
