Mauro Carvalho Chehab cf8076c314 [media] docs-rst: Convert DVB uAPI to use C function references
Name all ioctl references and make them match the ioctls that
are documented. That will improve the cross-reference index,
as it will have all ioctls and syscalls there.

While here, improve the documentation, marking the deprecated
ioctls, and making the non-deprecated ones more like the rest
of the media book.

Also, add a notice for ioctls that still require documentation.

******************************
FE_DISHNETWORK_SEND_LEGACY_CMD
******************************
Name
====
FE_DISHNETWORK_SEND_LEGACY_CMD
Synopsis
========
.. c:function:: int ioctl(int fd, FE_DISHNETWORK_SEND_LEGACY_CMD, unsigned long cmd)
:name: FE_DISHNETWORK_SEND_LEGACY_CMD
Arguments
=========
``fd``
File descriptor returned by :c:func:`open() <dvb-fe-open>`.
``cmd``
Sends the specified raw cmd to the dish via DISEqC.
Description
===========
.. warning::
This is a very obscure legacy command, used only at stv0299
driver. Should not be used on newer drivers.
It provides a non-standard method for selecting Diseqc voltage on the
frontend, for Dish Network legacy switches.
As support for this ioctl were added in 2004, this means that such
dishes were already legacy in 2004.
Return Value
============
On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set
appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
