I think the problem is not with firmware for the tuner, but firmware for
the bridge.  For instance, all the other dvb-pll tuners used in cxusb.c
have NULL specified for the i2c adapter.

I thought about that, but there are a dozen other drivers that use DVB_PLL,
and all of them select it unconditionally.  The DVB_PLL entry is a "hidden"
one with no name that won't show up it the config menu.  Of course, there
is no reason a separate patch can't add the ability to turn DVB_PLL on or
off from the DVB_FE_CUSTOMISE menu.

Of course you are right about this.  I grepped for LGH06XF in the dvb tree
and assumed that I got them all.  I'll fix this and add another patch to
make DVB_PLL customizable.
