Yeah, I hear you.  The device is pretty obscure, and without a unit to
debug on (or definitive info from the vendor), then it probably isn't
worth your time.  And if it's an onboard design in a laptop, it
wouldn't be trivial to yank the card and physically examine it, so you
would probably be forced to determine stuff like the GPIO config and
demod/tuner used purely through experimentation.
