media: ddbridge: initial support for MCI-based MaxSX8 cards
This adds initial support for the new MCI-based (micro-code interface) DD cards, with the first one being the MaxSX8 eight-tuner DVB-S/S2/S2X PCIe card. The MCI is basically a generalized interface implemented in the card's FPGA firmware and usable for all kind of cards, without the need to implement any demod/tuner drivers as this interface "hides" any I2C interface to the actual ICs, in other words any required driver is implemented in the card firmware. At this stage, the MCI interface is quite rudimentary with things like signal statistics reporting missing, but is already working to serve DVB streams to DVB applications. Missing functionality will be enabled over time. This implements only the ddbridge-mci sub-object and hooks it up to the Makefile so the object gets build. The upcoming commits hook this module into all other ddbridge parts where required, including device IDs etc. Picked up from the upstream dddvb-0.9.33 release.
