Mauro Carvalho Chehab 9d5e27cbc1 media: dvb frontend docs: use kernel-doc documentation
Now that frontend.h contains most documentation for the frontend,
remove the duplicated information from Documentation/ and use the
kernel-doc auto-generated one instead.

That should simplify maintainership of DVB frontend uAPI, as most
of the documentation will stick with the header file.

*****************
ioctl FE_SET_TONE
*****************
Name
====
FE_SET_TONE - Sets/resets the generation of the continuous 22kHz tone.
Synopsis
========
.. c:function:: int ioctl( int fd, FE_SET_TONE, enum fe_sec_tone_mode tone )
:name: FE_SET_TONE
Arguments
=========
``fd``
File descriptor returned by :ref:`open() <frontend_f_open>`.
``tone``
an integer enumered value described at :c:type:`fe_sec_tone_mode`
Description
===========
This ioctl is used to set the generation of the continuous 22kHz tone.
This call requires read/write permissions.
Usually, satellite antenna subsystems require that the digital TV device
to send a 22kHz tone in order to select between high/low band on some
dual-band LNBf. It is also used to send signals to DiSEqC equipment, but
this is done using the DiSEqC ioctls.
.. attention:: If more than one device is connected to the same antenna,
setting a tone may interfere on other devices, as they may lose the
capability of selecting the band. So, it is recommended that applications
would change to SEC_TONE_OFF when the device is not used.
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.
