That does not work. I added debug to see what it does and result is that
whole si2168_set_ts_mode() function is called only once - when frontend
is opened first time. I used dvbv5-scan.

I am not sure why you even want to that. Is it because of 2 demods are
connected to same TS bus? So you want disable always another? Or is is
just power-management, as leaving TS active leaks potentially some current.

Anyway, if you want control TS as runtime why you just don't add TS
disable to si2168_sleep()? If you enable TS on si2168_init() then
correct place to disable it is si2168_sleep().
