/* Older boards only had a single tuner device. Nowadays multiple tuner
devices may be present on a single board. Using TUNER_SET_TYPE_ADDR
to pass the tuner_setup structure it is possible to setup each tuner
device in turn.
Since multiple devices may be present it is no longer sufficient to
send a command to a single i2c device. Instead you should broadcast
the command to all i2c devices.
By setting the mode_mask correctly you can select which commands are
accepted by a specific tuner device. For example, set mode_mask to
T_RADIO if the device is a radio-only tuner. That specific tuner will
only accept commands when the tuner is in radio mode and ignore them
when the tuner is set to TV mode.
