[media] radio-si470x: Don't unnecesarily read registers on G_TUNER
Reading registers from the pcear USB dongles with the si470x causes a loud pop (and an alsa buffer overrun). Since most radio apps periodically call G_TUNER to update mono/stereo, signal and afc status this leads to the music . pop . music . pop . music -> not good. On the internet there is an howto for flashing the pcear with a newer firmware from the silabs reference boardto fix this, but: 1) This howto relies on a special version of the driver which allows firmware flashing 2) We should try to avoid the answer to a bug report being upgrade your firmware, if at all possible 3) Windows does not suffer from the pop sounds After a quick look at the driver I found at that the register reads are not necessary at all, as the device gives us the necessary status through usb interrupt packets, and the driver already uses these!
