Config attached.

I'm actually a bit annoyed this stuff was even pulled in; I have no TV tuner 
nor any desire to use the tuner-core code, and I find the reason it was 
pulled in was this fairly terrible config option:

menuconfig MEDIA_TUNER_CUSTOMIZE
        bool "Customize analog and hybrid tuner modules to build"
        depends on MEDIA_TUNER
        help
          This allows the user to deselect tuner drivers unnecessary
          for their hardware from the build. Use this option with care
          as deselecting tuner drivers which are in fact necessary will
          result in V4L/DVB devices which cannot be tuned due to lack of
          driver support

          If unsure say N.

Why is this option acting like CONFIG_EMBEDDED and not like basically every 
other subsystem where I can turn ON support for hardware, but by default it's 
OFF? (Obviously in my hasty oldconfig run I just went with the default.)
