We need to keep .num_frontends and .num_adapters both, because my next
change to dvb-usb is to convert the hard-sized array of struct
dvb_usb_adapter[MAX_NO_OF_ADAPTER_PER_DEVICE] and struct
dvb_usb_fe_adapter[MAX_NO_OF_FE_PER_ADAP] to a dynamic-allocated array
of pointers, to reduce the size of *all* dvb-usb drivers.

I didn't push all changes yet because I thought we should test each
change for a few days before merging too much all at once.  I wanted
to prevent the introduction of instability by making this a gradual
change so we can test things one by one.

Should I wait a bit before making the conversion of the hardcoded
sized-arrays to dynamic sized property pointers?

Regards,

Mike
