Linux v3.7-rc2 DVB breaks user space compilation
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.
