Looks like we need to make changes in both, tda827x and tda10023. Currently the 10023
is programmed for 36.13MHz IF frequency. This is *not* possible with the 827x.
So we need to implement a configuration option for the tda10023 to select the IF center
frequency (haven't had the time to have a close look yet) and we need to implement a way
to let the tda827x driver choose the right parameter set.
I would be more interested in the configuration of the tda10023. With the tda827x, i know
what to do.
