What is the unit of this frequency? I assume that is defined in the RDS standard?

How does this work? If this is enabled, will the receiver automagically switch to
the alternate frequency if the signal becomes too weak? And how does that affect
VIDIOC_G_FREQUENCY?

Should enum v4l2_preemphasis be reused here? I'm not certain what's best myself.

I'm missing the documentation for the new fm_band field!
