Why should the average user care which modules are necessary for which cards? The devel types would of course want to know, but they could also easily find or figure it out. As far as normal users are concerned, I don't think they really care. I know I don't, and I participate here quite heavily. What I really answer a lot is which modules exist in both the kernel and ivtv trees currently. My standard answer to most questions is to verify that the modules are loading from where the user expects them to. That was actually why I posted the list of 4 modules to begin with (tuner, tveeprom, msp3400, tda9887) - so the user could verify that they were loading from the correct tree. Unfortunately, it was misunderstood that I was posting a definitive list of the only modules necessary for that particular card model.
