Yes I agree, we can manage without having BAND support, but it isn't
completely covered by VIDIOC_S_TUNER and VIDIOC_G_TUNER. Actually it
would have had the biggest effect on the HW seek operation. For example
without V4L2_CID_FM_BAND using wl1273  FM radio, which supports two
bands, you need to do two seeks and band switch for every HW_SEEK IOCTL
and those seeks are kind of slow operations to begin with. You have
probably taken this into consideration but I wanted point this out
anyway... Could the seek struct have a band indicator?
