dea74869f3 V4L/DVB (4028): Change dvb_frontend_ops to be a real field instead of a pointer field inside dvb_frontend
The dvb_frontend_ops is a pointer inside dvb_frontend. That's why every demod-driver
is having a field of dvb_frontend_ops in its private-state-struct and
using the reference for filling the pointer-field in dvb_frontend.
- It saves at least two lines of code per demod-driver,
- reduces object size (one less dereference per frontend_ops-access),
- be coherent with dvb_tuner_ops,
- makes it a little bit easier for newbies to understand how it works and
- avoids stupid mistakes because you would have to copy the dvb_frontend_ops
  always, before you could assign the static pointer directly, which was
  dangerous.

8397703ee0 V4L/DVB (4014): Remove the spagetti code gotos that aren't useful
Some code had pointless gotos that just didn't make any sense.  They didn't
make the code smaller, or faster, or easier to understand.

eba841ed1d V4L/DVB (3312): FIX: Multiple usage of VP7045-based devices
Reassigning function pointers in a static led to infinite loops when using
multiple VP7045-based device at the same time on one system. Using kmalloc'd
copies for reassignments is better.
