I think it's most appropriate to keep tuner_ops.info.frequency_min|max ,
since it is the tuner that we're talking about.  If the demodulator
itself does not have such limitations, then we should not have such a
field in the demod ops.info section.

I believe that this is leftover from before Andrew's original dvb tuner
refactoring.

Cheers,

Mike
