all drivers that use I2C bus to control the hardware. A module bound
with dvb_module_probe() should use dvb_module_release() to unbind.
Note
In the past, DVB modules (mainly, frontends) were bound via dvb_attach()
macro, with does an ugly hack, using I2C low level functions. Such
usage is deprecated and will be removed soon. Instead, use this routine.

On success, return an
struct i2c_client, pointing to the bound I2C device.NULLotherwise.

Description
This ancillary function loads a frontend module in runtime and runs
the FUNCTION function there, with ARGS.
As it increments symbol usage cont, at unregister, dvb_detach()
should be called.
Note
In the past, DVB modules (mainly, frontends) were bound via dvb_attach()
macro, with does an ugly hack, using I2C low level functions. Such
usage is deprecated and will be removed soon. Instead, you should use
dvb_module_probe().

dvb_attach()
Parameters
- FUNC
- attach function 
Description
Decrements usage count for a function previously called via dvb_attach().
3.1.2. Digital TV Ring buffer¶
Those routines implement ring buffers used to handle digital TV data and copy it from/to userspace.
Note
- For performance reasons read and write routines don’t check buffer sizes and/or number of bytes free/available. This has to be done before these routines are called. For example: 
/* write @buflen: bytes */ free = dvb_ringbuffer_free(rbuf); if (free >= buflen) count = dvb_ringbuffer_write(rbuf, buffer, buflen); else /* do something */ /* read min. 1000, max. @bufsize: bytes */ avail = dvb_ringbuffer_avail(rbuf); if (avail >= 1000) count = dvb_ringbuffer_read(rbuf, buffer, min(avail, bufsize)); else /* do something */
- If there is exactly one reader and one writer, there is no need to lock read or write operations. Two or more readers must be locked against each other. Flushing the buffer counts as a read operation. Resetting the buffer counts as a read and write operation. Two or more writers must be locked against each other.
