I don't think it is useful.  If I look at the cx22702 fe code for
example I don't see how trying to replace cx22702_ioctl() with
something generic + function pointer hooks would improve things.  Most
of the code is just mapping dvb api enums+defines to hardware specific
values and visa versa, that isn't something which can be shared with
other frontend drivers ...
