This is what came into my mind: (very schematic)

in the lgdt3302-driver there will be a

int lgdt3302_set_rf_input(*fe, index)
{
 	/* set the correct rf_input-path */
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL(lgdt3302_set_rf_input);

add a pll_set-callback to the dt3302_config. This callback is called in 
set_frontend.

if (state->config->pll_set)
 	state->config->pll_set(fe,fep);

in cx88-dvb.c you set the pll_set-callback for the Gold-Q card to a 
function which could look like this:

int cx88_gold_q_pll_set(*fe,frontend_parameters)
{
 	/* do the stuff, eg. set pll1 for 8VSB and/or pll2 for QAM or so */

 	lgdt3302_set_rf_input(fe,appropriate_rf_input);
}

Along with this, you could also remove the dvb_pll_desc from the frontend 
to use a (common) pll_set-callback. IMHO tuner-progamming should not 
be in the frontend.

HTH,
Patrick.
