The readSamples call does not return less than the
number of samples requested. Doing otherwise is a
fatal error. So on overruns, which are not fatal,
continue reading until the requested number of
samples is received.

when the wrong transceiver is choosen for the particular device -
the error is fatal and the transceiver should exit. The clock rate

Commit e161523c (transceiver: simplify transmit power control)
changed transmit gain control to RF setting only. This was
appropriate for a WBX board with 25 dB of gain control, but
inappropriate for an RFX with fixed transmit gain.
RFX boards will regain the ability to set transmit
attenuation. Since gain is set on the RF side first,
reintroducing digital gain settings should have limited
overall effect on non-RFX daughterboards.

Receive buffer flush should continue to read until
either the desired number of packets has been read or
timeout, which means that the buffer has been emptied.
These are expected behaviours and should return true.
Ignore errors at this stage as the data and associated
metadata can be considered garbage and not worth
reporting. Actual error conditions will be caught
further downstream when useful data comes in.

Transmit tuning was primarily setup for side A only. Some boards
- WBX - would still tune with improper channel arguments, though
receiver performance was disrupted.
Previous testing was primarily with single board on side A only
or dual configuration with side A transmit, so this bug largely
went undetected. Patch tested with RFX and WBX daughterboards
in single and dual configurations sides A and B.

If no bursts were received over a long enough duration
then the threshold would roll into negative territory.
The energy detection is based on a comparison with the
squared threshold, so all handsets would become
effectively barred after a certain period of
inactivity.
In theory, this bug also exists in the mainline tree,
but there the daughterboard receive gain is fixed at
max, which always allows the ADC to generate sufficient
noise to trigger the energy dectector and keep the
system in a valid steady state.
To fix, simply add a negative value check like those
already in place for other locations.

UHD will internally accept floats with a range of +/-1.0,
which corresponds to a 16-bit signed integer range of
apporximately +/- 32000. Set the default amplitude to .3,
which is a safe value agaist saturation elsewhere in the
transmit chain.
The non-UHD maximum amplitude is unchanged at 13500.
Remove digital gain control because it's unnecessary and
causes extra load on enbedded systems.

This is primarily a minor refactor with the exception
of non-recoverable errors - notably if the receive times

In these cases, quit without trying as resistance is
futile.

Overnight testing shows that this shouldn't be required

The output of the modulator or resampler is scaled and
converted from floating point to fixed point. The scaling
factor is the leftover dB in RF attention (relative to max
transmit power), which is handled prior to the integer

non-UHD installations.

Sample clock will reset to zero after an overrun. Earlier
versions may hang the FPGA, which is non-recoverable,
requiring a manual image reload or reboot.
If reset to zero, attempt to kick the sample clock to the
last properly received timestamp value. At this point,
there will be a timing continuity jump, which will drop
connections, but transmit and receive chains should be
aligned allowing for re-establishment.

1) It should be memmove(), because source and destination regions may overlap.
2) Amount of moved memory was calculated incorrectly and was about 2x times more then really needed. We thus touched memory outside of the allocated array and may crash the program.
