Also, I would like to see all new drivers (demod and tuner) implemented 
as a standard kernel I2C drivers (or any other bus). I have converted 
already quite many drivers, si2168, si2157, m88ds3103, m88ts2022, 
it913x, tda18212, ...
When drivers are using proper kernel driver models, it allows using 
kernel services. For example dev_ / pr_ logging (it does not work 
properly without), RegMap API, I2C client, I2C multiplex, and so...

Here is few recent examples:
https://patchwork.linuxtv.org/patch/25495/
https://patchwork.linuxtv.org/patch/25152/
https://patchwork.linuxtv.org/patch/25146/

regards
Antti
