It's really the tuner > that has the frequency range. Not true: look at the MB86A16. It is a DC (Direct Conversion) receiver. There is no tuner used alongwith (a similar case goes for the MB86A15, but that is far from being similar) and hence no IF. But in either case, absolutely _no_ tuner. There are other DC receivers as well, mentioned the MB86A16 as an example, since being more familiar with it. > I think it would make more sense for the demodulator drivers to fill > fe->ops.info.frequency_min|max using fe->ops.tuner_ops.info.frequency_min|max. > A frontend driver that doesn't use a separate tuner driver (like DST) would > set the fe->ops.info.frequency_min|max directly. DST, inside the host CPU, does calculations based on the upper and lower bounds, but that generally results in almost the same defined spectral definition according to the standards.
