The dvb core has been using a separate i2c subsystem. Frontend drivers 
can register themselves with dvb_register_frontend() to the "old" 
subsystem.

I've started to port the frontend drivers back to kernel i2c and make 
dvb-frontend independent of i2c completely (there maybe frontend drivers 
that are not accessible via i2c).

stv0299, ves1x93 and tda1004x have already been ported. These drivers 
use dvb_register_frontend_new() instead.

Of course all frontend drivers should use the new api, but I haven't had 
the time to port them all yet.

CU
Michael.
