More than likely the driver used a specific standard, such as SECAM-BG when SECAM was selected. Has anyone noticed that the ivtv driver now loads the firmware, not on the module loading but when it is first accessed? If this is the new behaviour then it is a nice feature, as the drivers can be modprobed in a standard order.
