I can forsee at least one big obstacle in the bktr driver. it is
necessary to call TVTUNER_SETTYPE before setting the tuner, even if
you use TVTUNER_SETFREQ, which is quite different than V4L2.
there are several bugs lurking in bktr. for example, why are the
U saturation and V saturation ranges different? according to the
datasheets they should be the same. also notice that on startup
bktr reports a U saturation above the supposed limit!
I'd much rather see the problems fixed than a shim added to it.
how about working about multiple frame buffers? that's probably need
for many V4L2 programs. IMO, it would be better (maybe even easier)
to rewrite bktr with a V4L2 interface than to try to add V4L2 to it.
but, IMO, the best thing would be to fix bktr and document it better.
