From: Daniel Scheller <d.scheller@xxxxxxx> There can be use cases (bridges, namely ddbridge) which will care about gate control in a way that involves mutex_locks and remapped i2c_gatectrl FE ops. If the demod driver (additionally) performs it's own gate control and there's something else that already took the lock, locking again will lead to kernel deadlocks, so add and check a conditional before triggering gate_ctrl.
