Frontend drivers
================

.. note::

  #) There is no guarantee that every frontend driver works
     out of the box with every card, because of different wiring.

  #) The demodulator chips can be used with a variety of
     tuner/PLL chips, and not all combinations are supported. Often
     the demodulator and tuner/PLL chip are inside a metal box for
     shielding, and the whole metal box has its own part number.

Implementation Notes

This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
