Yeah, in this case it's largely historical (a product from before the
V4L and DVB subsystems were merged).  At this point I don't see any
real advantage to arbitrarily moving the stuff around.  And in fact in
some areas it's even more ambiguous because some drivers are hybrid
drivers but support both hybrid chips as well as analog-only (the
em28xx driver is one such example).

Anyway, Mauro is welcome to offer his opinion if it differs, but as
far as I'm concerned this patch shouldn't get applied.

Cheers,

Devin
