The firmwares in the ROM are a good point.

I discussed with  Mauro Carvalho Chehab before I started writing my patch,
and he told me that the only (loadable) firmware that uses the old command
is the "drxk_a3.mc" one.
But you are right, there is some firmware (for DVB-C, afaik it's NOT for DVB-T)
stored in the ROM.

If  I find out that the ROM uses the "old" command then I'll probably try
making this smart:
old_qam_demod_cmd will be an int with the following possible values:
* -1: unknown - trial and error approach will be used
(afterwards this will be updated to either 0 or 1)
* 0: use the 2-parameter command
* 1: use the 4-parameter command

I'll also try to guess a smart default value:
-1 will be used if no firmware was given.
Otherwise 0 will be the default.
The remaining two drxk_config instances that are still using the old
firmware will be set to 1 (like in my first patch).

If everything goes right then I'll be able to test and update my patch tonight.

Regards,
Martin
