This may seem like a silly question, but *why* are you making this
change?  There is no explanation for what prompted it.  Is it in
response to some issue you encountered?

I'm asking because in general dvb_frontend has a fairly complicated
locking model, and unless there is a compelling reason to make changes
I would be against it.

In other words, this is a bad place for arbitrary "cleanup patches".
