Add lock to af9035 driver for dual mode.
May I ask why you do that?

Just to avoid interference between the two demods.

... and how you can see that interference? What should I do that I can
see these problems you are trying to fix with that patch.

It is not to fix any real problem. It is to avoid concurrent access to both
demods to prevent bad effects.

You copy & pasted it from the AF9015 driver. The reason why it is there
is firmware, which has some problems if it was interrupted in some
cases. Like you were asking BER from the demod and then tuner access was
done using same I2C adapter. AF9015 firmware offers I2C adapter for 2
demod and 2 RF-tuners. First demod is integrated and is memory mapped -
but what I remember you could access it via I2C too. AF9015 fw also has
internally some logic, it access to tuner and demod registers directly.
Those locks seen in AF9015 driver are mostly due to af9015 firmware
limitations and should not be copied to the any other driver without a
real need. AF9035 fw seems to behave a better.
