I looked wrong place and driver =)

That driver is asked few times already, nice!

+    History:
+	Max Nibble wrote the initial code, but only released it in
+	binary form. Assembly to C conversion done by HP Selasky.
+	Some possible endian issues fixed.


It is big possibility same DVB-T/C/T2 blocks are used with different 
chips as none wants to reinvent the wheel. That has happened many times.

I wonder is there any change to start mainlining that driver as it is 
converted from the binary? Make documentation and then write clean driver?
