Ok, I think I have figured that out - tvheadend thinks this is a DVB-T adapter:
root at kg-f4# more /usr/local/etc/tvheadend/dvbadapters/_dev_dvb_adapter0_Sony_CXD2820R
{
        "enabled": 1,
        "fe_path": "/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0",
        "dmx_path": "/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0",
        "dvr_path": "/dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0",
        "type": "DVB-T",
        "displayname": "Sony CXD2820R",
        "autodiscovery": 1,
        "idlescan": 1,
        "idleclose": 0,
        "skip_checksubscr": 0,
        "sidtochan": 0,
        "qmon": 0,
        "poweroff": 0,
        "nitoid": 0,
        "diseqc_version": 0,
        "diseqc_repeats": 0,
        "extrapriority": 0,
        "skip_initialscan": 0,
        "disable_pmt_monitor": 0,
        "full_mux_rx": -1,
        "grace_period": 0
}

Even if w_scan doesn't have a problem scanning with a DVB-C frontend for the same adapter:
root at kg-f4# w_scan -fc -c NO -C ISO-8859-1
w_scan version 20120415 (compiled for DVB API 5.5)
using settings for NORWAY
DVB cable
DVB-C
scan type CABLE, channellist 7
output format vdr-1.6
output charset 'ISO-8859-1'
Info: using DVB adapter auto detection.
	/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0 -> CABLE "Sony CXD2820R": very good :-))

Using CABLE frontend (adapter /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0)
-_-_-_-_ Getting frontend capabilities-_-_-_-_ 
Using DVB API 5.a
frontend 'Sony CXD2820R' supports
INVERSION_AUTO
QAM_AUTO
FEC_AUTO
FREQ (45.00MHz ... 864.00MHz)

So the question is: how do I make tvheadend detect the DVB-C capability of this adapter?
There is only one frontend:
root at kg-f4# ls -l /dev/dvb/adapter0
total 0
crw-rw----  1 webcamd  webcamd  0x8c Feb 25 20:32 demux0
crw-rw----  1 webcamd  webcamd  0x8d Feb 25 20:32 dvr0
crw-rw----  1 webcamd  webcamd  0x9a Feb 25 20:32 frontend0

I tried stopping tvheadend changing "type" to "DVB-C" and starting tvhheadend again, but it just overwrites the file.
Any ideas?
