Are you meaning in the case where multiple manufacturers have used the same 
frontend, that the manufacturer-hardware-specific card driver should do bits 
of the frontend setup?

Yeah, that does seem more appropriate actually, just a bit different from how 
its done right now. Anyway, it was just an idea for how to support it if the 
situation arises. When/if it does, it can be sorted then. 

I assume you prefer the callback function to load firmware in dvb_adapter 
method in that case.
