I think you want add locking for tuner set. But this seems to be now 
removing it.

* tuner gate is not normally open, it is only open very small period 
when tuner is programmed, init or sleep.
* I think gate is not reason for I2C errors seen in log

Finally I think, you want lock tuner set. Than is easiest to do locking 
whole .set_frontend(). I haven't tested it, but testing it have been on 
my TODO some time.
