[PATCH] dvb: Updated documentation for FusionHDTV Lite cards
- Updated documentation for FusionHDTV Lite cards. We must differentiate the bt8xx based "Lite" cards from the cx2388x based "Gold" cards. - Provide location of CARDLIST.bttv Documentation, rather than instructing users to look at bttv.h - Include card decimal id numbers. These are valid for module arguments, and might be easier for some people to remember, rather than hex.
