The driver remains as modular as it was before (regarding sources files).
Why to load smsusb.ko and than load smsdvb.ko and than load usbcore.ko? (and ir
and endian... and...)
The driver handles any device (or devices) with Siano silicon on it, simple as
that.
The new build method (Makefile and Kconfig) after the patches (yet to be fully
submitted), build the driver to match the system it targets. (If USB exist than
it builds the USB interface driver (otherwise it doesn't) and links it to the
single module, same for SDIO, and any other interface driver, same for any
clients and any other component).

Uri
