I totally agree with you.

I did it already for 7301, see here:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.video-input-infrastructure/28082
but due to 'political' reasons it doesn't went upstream.
For private use i am still using this patch on recent kernels, because
it is working much more stable for my card comparing to stv0900.
I think that moving prof 7500 should be relative easy, i even prepared
a patch for this but I was not able to test it due to lack of hardware.

Oh yes, you could also take into account another duplicate code:
stb6100_cfg.h used for stv090x
stb6100_proc.h used for stv0900
In my patch I've successfully switched to stb6100_cfg.h.
