Hi, Mauro!

Actually, I did not test it, because I did not have the hardware.
But, in the other places of the code, the same if cases are used.

Here are a couple examples:

static int stv090x_dvbs_track_crl(struct stv090x_state *state)
{
if (state->internal->dev_ver >= 0x30) {
...
} else {
...
}

...
}

static u32 stv090x_srate_srch_coarse(struct stv090x_state *state)
{
...

if (state->internal->dev_ver >= 0x30) {
...
} else if (state->internal->dev_ver >= 0x20) {
...
}

...
}
