-#include "m920x.h"

+#include "dvb-usb.h"

-#ifndef _DVB_USB_M920X_H_

New defines in m920x.h .

-	if (mutex_lock_interruptible(&d->i2c_mutex) < 0)
+	if (mutex_lock_interruptible(&d->i2c_mutex) < 0) /* I'm not
sure about using the i2c_mutex here is a good idea - maybe it is better
to create m920x_state and put a device-specific mutex or use the
usb_mutex from dvb_usb_device */

You can actually drop this altogether.
M9206_CORE, M9206_I2C, M9206_FILTER and M9206_FW can be accessed
concurrently.

-			if (msg[i].addr == 0x1e)
+			if (msg[i].addr == 0x1e) // This screams for a
comment or for another solution.

Given in my patch. I wouldn't try to fix it until we know whether they
are different on different tuners or demods.

-	if (pid == 8192)
+	if (pid == 8192) /* handling this special PID should be in
dvb-usb-dvb and should call the pid_filter_ctrl-ops */

This is now done differently because I think this might fall when both
of the disabling methods are used at the same time. The way pid filters
need to be set seems a bit picky also.
