Band switching are made via g_tuner/s_tuner calls. If a device have
several non-overlapping bands, just implement it there. There's no
need for a new API.
Also, this is generic enough to cover even devices with non-standard
frequency ranges.
All bands can easily be detected via a g_tuner loop, and band switching
is done via s_tuner.
Each band range can have its name ("AM", "FM", "AM-SW", "FM-Japan", ...),
and this is a way more generic than what's being proposed.
It likely makes sense to standardize the band names inside the radio core,
in order to avoid having the same band called with two different names inside
the drivers.
It should also be noticed that each band may have different properties.
On the above, the FM band can do stereo/mono and RDS, while AM is just
mono So, a change like what's proposed would keep requiring two entries.

Yes, it is very close, but Countries that added the extra 500 kHz bandwidth
added stations there. On those, older devices can't tune into the new channels.
In the city I used to live, two channels were added when the range got
extended, one at 87.5, and another at 87.9.

That's why giving them name via defines is a bad thing: the concept of
"universal" changes from time to time: 15 years ago, an "universal" radio
is a device that were able to tune at AM-SW, AM-MW, AM-HW and FM (88-108MHz).
An "universal FM" radio used to be 76-108 MHz, but, with the weather band,
it is now 76-163 Mhz.
If a band like that is described as "FM" with a frequency range from 76
to 163 MHz, this is clearer than calling it as "FM unversal".

Except due to regulatory requirements, the driver could just expose the
broadest range. That's what I did with tea5767, as it allows using either
an "universal" range from 76 to 108 MHz, or to limit it to 88.5-108MHz.

CCIR is a bad (and obsolete) name.
It is a bad name because it is the name of the Radio committee of the ITU,
and this committee standardizes all radio ranges, not only the above.
It is an obsolete name, as CCIR was renamed to ITU-R, back in 1992[1].
Btw, take a look at ITU-R BS.450-3 spec, table 1a[2]: it defines several ranges there:
87.5-108
88-108
88-100 (Norway)
66-73 (Gambia)
66-74 (Lithuania)
87.8-108 (US)
100-108 (India)
76-90 (Japan)
