I didn't comment the libdvbapi/mti driver.
I'm quite confident that non I2C protocols can be handled by a callback
function. In the end it's either a usb control command or pci mmio writes
in the current usual cases and such calls could be handled behind a
callback function which is implemented in the driver.
