Subject: [DVB patch 21/54] frontend: stv0297: QAM128 tuning improvement

From: Patrick Boettcher <[email protected]>

while investigating the QAM_128-issue with the stv0297-driver for the
Cablestar (which is not the same as the one in dvb-kernel CVS, yet), I
fixed it, not by increasing the timeout, but by disabling the
corner-detection for QAM_128 and higher.

This patch has been tested on dvb-kernel cvs, and has been reported to
work by multiple users. Some cards still need timeout increase on top of
this patch. This will be addressed later.
