At least cx22702 doesn't need any c/s/t specific, don't know the others
through.

If we'll pass a void* for connection parameters anyway we can put
connect/disconnect callbacks directly into struct i2c_driver instead
of having our own dvb_fe_i2c_client with fe_connect tweaked for dvb
needs.  We can try whenever it will be accepted, but I suspect it will
not ...
