Hello,

The following patch broke our userspace software builds. While it does preserve BINARY compatibility, it breaks SOURCE compatibility as the parameter names have changed. I don't see the rationale for breaking compatibility in the patch description.

Please consider reverting to the old names. Thank you.

[media] dvb_frontend: add multistream support

Unify multistream support at the DVBAPI: several delivery systems allow it. Yet, each one had its own name. So, instead of adding a third version of this field, remove the per-standard naming, unifying it into a common name.

The legacy code number can still be used by old applications.

Version increased to 5.8.
