FEATURE REQUEST: Unicable support for TBS 6508 adapter 1,3,5 and 7 #11

Hi, first let me thank you for your wonderfull projects.
Would it be possible to send DiseqC messages of adaper 1,3,5 and 7 on adapter 0,2,4 and 6 instead?
Backround: The DiseqC pin of the Si2183 chips on the TBS6508 is only connected (in HW) on the even adapters and not on the odd adapters. This makes sense for non unicable setups as there would be collisions as even adapters share an rf input with an odd adapter. On the other hand this makes it impossible to use the odd tuners for unicable.
With the original TBS drivers I'm able to do this with a dirty hack where I temporarily alter the I2C address of the odd adapter in send_diseqc_cmd (si2183_drv.c). Unfortunately this does not work with your drivers (result is a send_tone failed due to time out).
Could this be implemented or could you give me a hint why this is not working with your drivers?

Thanks
