Not sure if I answered that before. I opted to use upper case for DVR and
CA because both are initials:
DVR - Digital Video Record
CA - Conditional Access
and initials are in upper case, in English.
The devnode names are whatever the udev rules tell ;) The Kernel actually
asks to create DVB class devices for the first DVR and CA, located on the first
DVB adapter as:
/dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0
/dev/dvb/adapter0/ca0
I don't mind changing those to lowercase to match the devnames on some
future patch, if it is a consensus that making those names matching the
device node is a requirement, but, in this case, maybe we should rename the
dvb stuff to:
dvb/adapter/foo, in order to better reflect how they'll appear
at devfs.
Please also notice that:
+ case MEDIA_INTF_T_DVB_NET:
+ return "dvbnet";
This is also not the device node. The device node there is actually:
/dev/dvb/adapter0/net0
So, IMHO, it is fine the way it is, as we don't want big names here
on those printks.

Mauro
