+ <entry>Digital TV, analog TV, radio and/or software radio tuner,
+ with consists on a PLL tuning stage that converts radio
+ frequency (RF) signal into an Intermediate Frequency (IF).
+ Modern tuners have internally IF-PLL decoders for audio
+ and video, but older models have those stages implemented
+ on separate entities.

+ <entry>IF-PLL video decoder. It receives the IF from a PLL
+ and decodes the analog TV video signal. This is commonly
+ found on some very old analog tuners, like Philips MK3
+ designs. They all contain a tda9887 (or some software
+ compatible similar chip, like tda9885). Those devices
+ use a different I2C address than the tuner PLL.

+ and decodes the analog TV audio signal. This is commonly
+ found on some very old analog hardware, like Micronas
+ msp3400, Philips tda9840, tda985x, etc. Those devices
+ use a different I2C address than the tuner PLL and
+ should be controlled together with the IF-PLL video
+ decoder.
