You cannot use the tuner.c from the kernel tree (which you are using
or you could not get this message).
The tuner.c which comes with the DVB driver supports both, normal 
analog tuners and DVB tuners.

These values for firmware ROM, RTSL versionm, etc. are bogus. 
Something must have gone wrong during the upload of the firmware. 
But you did not get anything like "dvb: debi test in bootarm()
failed"? Really strange ...
I think some people had similar problems when having "PnP OS" or
something similar enabled in the BIOS setup.
