I would prefer to have a proper sysfs for the DVB - I really don't like having
things randomly scattered about all over sysfs. For example, some of the
frontends created extra sysfs device files for configuration - these ended up
attached to some unrelated (to the end-user) i2c device instead of descending
from the DVB stuff.
That are simply some missing links in the device tree. With complete
sysfs support you will have a symlink pointing from
/sys/class/dvb/dvb0.frontent0/device into the /sys/devices tree to the
i2c device ...
The frontend is by no means equivalent to an i2c device, so a symlink is
probably not what you want to do here.
