[linux-dvb] dvb-kernel stv0299b / alps_bsrv2 SEC_VOLTAGE_OFF



I am submitting this patch because we find it benificial in some environments.  
It explicitely turns off the LNB voltage for the stv0299 and alps_bsrv2 
frontends.  There are a couple of advantages to this feature.  It allows the 
connection of multiple cards to one LNB without frying cards (if you don't 
have a switch).  It also allows you to turn off the receiver card without 
shutting down the entire machine if you are changing cables (and trying to 
reduce the chances of shorting various devices).

Matt
