According to include/linux/dvb/version.h we call it "DVB_API_VERSION 3".

Holger was mumbling something about a wrapper driver, like the one
Ralph mentions in his posting. But I don't know the details, so I
leave it up to Holger to answer that (tomorrow, Holger's taken the

AFAICT there's no required load order.
dvb_register_i2c_bus() does a probe_devices_on_bus(),
dvb_register_i2c_device() does probe_device_on_all_busses().
