There is so many things wrong with this patch that I don't even know
where to start :

 - Rename a function to _old and then not use it ... wtf ... if it's
not used, remove it, don't leave it there for posterity's sake, that's
why we have source revision control !
 - r82xx_set_gain now has 3 completely distinct operating modes for no
good reasons ... just make 3 distinct functions and call the right
one. Everywhere that function is called the "mode" params are
fixed/hardcoded ...
 - Introduces a new API rtlsdr_set_tuner_gain_ext which has hard coded
calls to R820T functions without the appropriate tuner type
indirections and without appropriate fallbacks or error code if the
dongle uses a tuner not supporting the 'ext' mode.


Seriously people wonder why those don't get upstream, but I apply this
and my E4k dongle might just not work or plain crash with any app
using that new API ...

Cheers,

   Sylvain
