But the first step will have to be to make your code compile and work with the v4l-dvb master repository: http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb/ See also: http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Development:_How_to_submit_patches Note that there have been a lot of changes lately, so you should use the master repository as the starting point for your driver.
