Quickly looking the existing use cases and I found only lgdt3306a demod
which uses that callback to control its TS interface. All the rest seems
to be somehow more related to bridge driver, mostly changing bridge TS
IF or leds etc.

I don't simply see that correct solution for disabling demod TS IF -
there is sleep() for this kind of things - and as I pointed out it does
not even work for me em28xx based device because em28xx uses that
routine to switch own TS mode.
