-/**
- * DOC: Digital TV Demux
- *
- * The Kernel Digital TV Demux kABI defines a driver-internal interface for
- * registering low-level, hardware specific driver to a hardware independent
- * demux layer. It is only of interest for Digital TV device driver writers.
- * The header file for this kABI is named demux.h and located in
- * drivers/media/dvb-core.
- *
- * The demux kABI should be implemented for each demux in the system. It is
- * used to select the TS source of a demux and to manage the demux resources.
- * When the demux client allocates a resource via the demux kABI, it receives
- * a pointer to the kABI of that resource.
- *
- * Each demux receives its TS input from a DVB front-end or from memory, as
- * set via this demux kABI. In a system with more than one front-end, the kABI
- * can be used to select one of the DVB front-ends as a TS source for a demux,
- * unless this is fixed in the HW platform.
- *
- * The demux kABI only controls front-ends regarding to their connections with
- * demuxes; the kABI used to set the other front-end parameters, such as
- * tuning, are devined via the Digital TV Frontend kABI.
- *
- * The functions that implement the abstract interface demux should be defined
- * static or module private and registered to the Demux core for external
- * access. It is not necessary to implement every function in the struct
- * &dmx_demux. For example, a demux interface might support Section filtering,
- * but not PES filtering. The kABI client is expected to check the value of any
- * function pointer before calling the function: the value of NULL means
- * that the function is not available.
- *
- * Whenever the functions of the demux API modify shared data, the
- * possibilities of lost update and race condition problems should be
- * addressed, e.g. by protecting parts of code with mutexes.
- *
- * Note that functions called from a bottom half context must not sleep.
- * Even a simple memory allocation without using %GFP_ATOMIC can result in a
- * kernel thread being put to sleep if swapping is needed. For example, the
- * Linux Kernel calls the functions of a network device interface from a
- * bottom half context. Thus, if a demux kABI function is called from network
- * device code, the function must not sleep.

/**
- * DOC: Demux Callback
- *
- * This kernel-space API comprises the callback functions that deliver filtered
- * data to the demux client. Unlike the other DVB kABIs, these functions are
- * provided by the client and called from the demux code.
- *
- * The function pointers of this abstract interface are not packed into a
- * structure as in the other demux APIs, because the callback functions are
- * registered and used independent of each other. As an example, it is possible
- * for the API client to provide several callback functions for receiving TS
- * packets and no callbacks for PES packets or sections.
- *
- * The functions that implement the callback API need not be re-entrant: when
- * a demux driver calls one of these functions, the driver is not allowed to
- * call the function again before the original call returns. If a callback is
- * triggered by a hardware interrupt, it is recommended to use the Linux
- * bottom half mechanism or start a tasklet instead of making the callback
- * function call directly from a hardware interrupt.
- *
- * This mechanism is implemented by dmx_ts_cb() and dmx_section_cb()
- * callbacks.
