firedtv: fix regression: tuning fails due to bogus error return

  Since 2.6.32(-rc1), DVB core checks the return value of
dvb_frontend_ops.set_frontend.  Now it becomes apparent that firedtv
always returned a bogus value from its set_frontend method.

Hi Mauro,

when you committed this, you added "CC: stable@kernel.org".  This is not
necessary, 2.6.32-rc1 is the first kernel version with the regression
(see changelog).

Well, OK, the patch would become necessary in -stable if somebody was to
put the new set_frontend return code check in dvb core into -stable. But
I hope nobody is going to do that; it'd be a bad idea.

Furthermore...

...the firedtv-avc.c part of the patch vanished when you committed it. I
guess this was accident, not deliberate --- otherwise a note in the
changelog below of my Signed-off-by would have been appreciated.

I will resubmit this missing comment change or a variation of it or even
a fix of the FIXME sometime in the future.

It was still there in the linuxtv-commits message of the respective
Mercurial commit, BTW.  Something wrong with the hg to git workflow?
