Hans Verkuil 45ad9f8b44 V4L/DVB (4202): allow selecting CX2341x port mode
CX2341X port was always set to 'memory', but 'streaming' is also possible

ivtv uses the memory (DMA) interface with the CX2341X, while pvrusb2 and
cx88-blackbird use the streaming interface. This setting is now selectable
by the driver.
