It may make sense for DVB cards, don't know the hardware good enougth.
It certainly doesn't make sense for el-cheapo analog bt878 cards.  They
all respond on two addresses: eeprom and tuner (0xa0 / 0xc0 IIRC).  bttv
used to attempt autodetect tv cards that way years ago, it is gone
because it simply didn't work.
