As well a the dib3000mb does.

You just need to know the frequency and the bandwidth (which can be auto
as well since there are only 3 different values).

What about using SET_FRONTEND and GET_FRONTEND for it?

Passing the 68 Bits of TPS to the user space (new ioctl)?

A general "TPS-to-frontend-parameter"-method in the (dvb-)core would be
nice as well?! (I parse it my driver (or the demod does it) and I saw tps
parsing other drivers, too).
