Driver conversion from proprietary DVB tuner model to more

Mike should definitely weigh in on this. Eliminating the existing
model of using dvb_attach() for tuners is something that needs to be
considered carefully, and this course of action should be agreed on by
the subsystem maintainers before we start converting drivers. This
could be particularly relevant for hybrid tuners where the driver
instance is instantiated via tuner-core using dvb_attach() for the
analog side.
In the meantime, this change makes this driver work differently than
every other tuner in the tree.
Heh, it is quite stupid to do things otherwise than rest of the kernel
and also I think it is against i2c documentation. For more we refuse to
use kernel standard practices the more there will be problems in a long ran.
There is things that are build top of these standard models and if you
are using some proprietary method, then you are without these services.
I think it was regmap which I was looking once, but dropped it as it
requires i2c client.
Also, I already implemented one tuner driver using standard I2C model.
If there will be problems then those are surely fixable.
