No. For most users, it is a risky option to allow DVB_CUSTOMISE. A
warning should be added here, marking that this option may make DVB to
stop working.

Same as above.

This comment doesn't help. For 99,9% of the current DVB boards, DVB_PLL
is needed. So, help should be something like "this is required for most
boards. You should disable it only if you know what you are doing".

NO! You are just removing DST support from the driver! Saves some memory
for your board, but breaks support for a large number of boards.
