Dunno, its up to you really...

One thing I'd suggest is wrapping the call to cx22702_validate_eeprom() in a 
test like:

if (!strcmp(adapter->name, "WHATEVERISAPPROPRIATE")) {
 cx22702_validate_eeprom()
}

Or is the EEPROM structure always the same for all cx22702-based cards? (I'm 
guessing its Hauppauge specific).

I know for a fact that Leadtek LR6650 cards are cx88 based with a cx22702 
demod+ a Thomson DTT 7579 PLL, so it would make it easy for someone to 
support those in the future. In fact, I have information on how to program 
that tuner right here, so I might as well do that while I'm at it.

What do you think?
