The attached piece of code does it with the new API.
However, the VES1893 data sheet says "NEST[7:0] is the current value
of the noise power estimation. It gives an estimation of signal quality
and can be useful to point a dish."
So you might want to use the FE_READ_SNR ioctl instead of
FE_READ_SIGNAL_STRENGTH. Or both.
The scaling factors in my code are derived from Jan Pantelje'sdb, but
one day the driver might adhere to the docs and give us the
correct values directly...
