The "procedure" is to hit google with something
like "linux <vendor> <model>" and see what you find. :-)
Especially links to mailing list archives like linux-media and linux-dvb
are worth a read.

Did you risk a look at any of those?

I suspect they might contain some usable informaion. You should however
take into account that most developers don't care to update a bazillion
different places after they added support for a particular devices. So
in most cases there will be a brief announcment on the developers
mailinglist and the code is the documentation.
