Not sure about this patch.

Currently, tuners with newer standards just don't use the dvb_frontend_parameters 
passed into them, using instead fe->dtv_property_cache.

So, in the long term, it seems to make more sense to just change the
set_parameters callback parameters from:

	static int set_params(struct dvb_frontend *fe,
		struct dvb_frontend_parameters *params)

to:

	static int set_params(struct dvb_frontend *fe)

or to explicitly pass the cache as an argument.
