This isn't the problem.

The cxusb driver needs one of several different 'front-end' drivers for
different devices, including lgs8gl5 (which apprently doesn't support
all LGS8GL5 variants!) and lgs8gxx.  However, it does not select
lgs8gxx, and front-end drivers will not built unless another driver
selects them (or CONFIG_DVB_FE_CUSTOMISE is set, which it isn't).

I have just applied a fix for this, so lgs8gxx will be included in
future.
