I had a similar problem, I had to add a tuner card.

Mine was a "type 0x79".  Your type "0xd5" may or may not be the same type of
tuner chip...

Here's what I did to add my 0x79 type:

And the line you need to add (in bktr_card.c) is:

	switch (tuner_code) {
	...
	...
	...
	case 0x79:
		select_tuner( bktr, PHILIPS_TDA6503_NTSC );
		goto checkDBX;
	}

And you need to add the PHILIPS_TDA6503_NTSC info in:

bktr_tuner.h:#define    PHILIPS_TDA6503_NTSC    15

(Or whatever number is next in the table, in case I have older source)

And the following in bktr_tuner.c:

    /* PHILIPS_TDA6503_NTSC */
    { "Philips TDA6503 NTSC",       /* the 'name' */
       TTYPE_NTSC,              /* input type */
       { TSA552x_SCONTROL,          /* control byte for Tuner PLL */
         TSA552x_SCONTROL,
         TSA552x_SCONTROL,
         0x00 },
       { 0x00, 0x00 },          /* band-switch crosspoints */
       { 0x01, 0x02, 0x08, 0x00 } }     /* the band-switch values */

You need to match up the #define index with the position in the table
above, I think.

If your chip is different than mine, you'll need to figure out different
parameters for the bktr_tuner.c module hacks...

Cheers,
