587What: For VIDIOC_S_FREQUENCY the type field must match the device node's type.
588 If not, return -EINVAL.
589When: 3.2
590Why: It makes no sense to switch the tuner to radio mode by calling
591 VIDIOC_S_FREQUENCY on a video node, or to switch the tuner to tv mode by
592 calling VIDIOC_S_FREQUENCY on a radio node. This is the first step of a
593 move to more consistent handling of tv and radio tuners.

598What: Opening a radio device node will no longer automatically switch the
599 tuner mode from tv to radio.
600When: 3.3
601Why: Just opening a V4L device should not change the state of the hardware
602 like that. It's very unexpected and against the V4L spec. Instead, you
603 switch to radio mode by calling VIDIOC_S_FREQUENCY. This is the second
604 and last step of the move to consistent handling of tv and radio tuners.
