None.  They have the same problem, creating hard module dependencies
even if they use dvb_attach() and CONFIG_MEDIA_ATTACH is set:

bjorn@canardo:~$ modinfo b2c2-flexcop
filename:       /lib/modules/2.6.32-5-amd64/kernel/drivers/media/dvb/b2c2/b2c2-flexcop.ko
license:        GPL
description:    B2C2 FlexcopII/II(b)/III digital TV receiver chip
author:         Patrick Boettcher <patrick.boettcher@desy.de
depends:        s5h1420,dvb-core,cx24113,cx24123,i2c-core
vermagic:       2.6.32-5-amd64 SMP mod_unload modversions 
parm:           debug:set debug level (1=info,2=tuner,4=i2c,8=ts,16=sram,32=reg (|-able)). (debugging is not enabled) (int)
parm:           adapter_nr:DVB adapter numbers (array of short)



This probably means that a generic i2c_tuner wrapper, similar to
dvb_attach, would be useful.
