New nuvoton driver

[Audioniek]

The latest version

I have put some extra work in and this has resulted in the following changes and additions:

FS9000/9200 (Fortis HDbox)
The spinner when on, is now stopped in the following circumstances:

• Spinner is stopped because it is switched off (was already implemented);
• A command all icons on or off is received;
• An icon that is part of the spinner (inner circle or one of the eight segments) is (re)set.

HS8200 (Atevio7500)

• Display of more than one icon is now possible. If only one icon is switched on, it is displayed continuously. If more than one icon is on, they are displayed in circular sequence, with each icon visible during a period of 3 seconds. A (re)set all icons feature is now useful and has been added too: it is icon 23.
• A spinner has been added: it is icon 24. When displayed, it suppresses the display of other icons. It's on/off value behaves similar as on the FS9000/9200 and Spark7162/VFD:

0 = off
1 = default speed (one cycle takes 4 seconds)
2 - 255 = sets own speed. 2 is fastest, 255 is slowest

When the spinner is switched off after being on, the previously displayed icon(s) are restored automatically. Updates to their on/off state are stored during spinner activity and restored correctly.

All models
The version info has been improved and expanded. First, the version info shown is actually retrieved from the boot loader environment (previously it was a model dependent string constant). Second, the reseller ID in the boot loader can be shown in one of two ways:
- By using fp_control -v (needs the latest fp_control);
- By typing cat /proc/stb/fp/resellerID in a telnet session.

You need a new nuvoton.ko, a new e2proc.ko and a new fp_control to enjoy all this. All source code can be found in my git.

Hope you like it.

Audioniek.
