Interesting idea, but it didn't worked. It deadlocks. I think it locks 
since I2C-mux is controlled by I2C "switch" in same I2C bus, not GPIO or 
some other HW.

* tuner does I2C xfer on I2C-mux adapter
* I2C-mux adapter calls demod .i2c_gate_ctrl()
* demod does register access using I2C
* DEADLOCK

Maybe since tuner I2C xfer have already locked I2C-adater. Then demod 
access same adapter and it is locked.

But nice I2C mux anyhow.

@David Daney, see that pic in order to get understanding what kind of 
problem I am working;
