I've got firmware here that is indicated as being for the xc5300 (i.e.
0x14b4). That said, I am not sure if it's the same as the original
5000c firmware. Definitely makes sense to do an I2C dump and compare
the firmware images since using the wrong firmware can damage the
part.

I'm not against an additional #define for the 0x14b4 part ID, but it
shouldn't be accepted upstream until we have corresponding firmware
and have seen the tuner working. Do you have digital signal lock
working with this device under Linux and the issue is strictly with
part identification?
