Yes, but:

1) Please, send it as a patch, with the proper SOB;

2) From a diff I did here:

-       my $sourcefile = "UDXTTM6000.sys";
-       my $hash = "cb9deb5508a5e150af2880f5b0066d78";
-       my $outfile = "tm6000-xc3028.fw";
+       my $sourcefile = "hcw85bda.sys";
+       my $hash = "0e44dbf63bb0169d57446aec21881ff2";
+       my $outfile = "xc3028-v27.fw";

This version works with another *.sys file. The proper way is to
check for the hash, and use the proper logic, based on the provided
sys file;

3) Please document where to get the UDXTTTM6000.sys file at the 
comments;

4) tm6000-xc3028.fw is a really bad name. It made sense only during
the development of tuner-xc2028.c, since, on that time, it seemed that
tm6000 had a different firmware version. In fact, the first devices
appeared with v 1.e firmware. So, a proper name for that version
would be xc3028-v1e.fw. We should rename it to be consistent.

It is not clear what version is provided with this version. Is it
v3.6? On a few cases, we've seen some modified versions of XC3028 firmwares
shipped with some specific board. Is it the case?


Cheers,
Mauro
