I prefer you drop the extern, but ...

"return NULL"? Really?

Gah, that is wrong.

Also, what use is the index? It's some kind of global channel index, but
that's almost completely useless. I think you need a very very very good
reason to have this function and you're not even stating a single one.

Well, it's used in the next patch that gets the survey info by index.

Wouldn't hurt my feelings to re-write how the get-survey() method
is called, but that would touch a lot of drivers, break out-of-tree drivers,
etc.

When you get a chance, please take a look at how the survey code
appears to work and let me know if you want it changed to take
channel objects instead of channel indexes.

Thanks,
Ben
