The loop below is missing one important case: tuner is at completely
wrong frequency (e. g. when signal strength is 0).

Ok, ideally, the thread shouldn't even be running on such cases,
but, from your code, you're starting the thread when the driver is
initialized. So, a test like this would be needed here.

Well, I would actually do it on a different way, but then you'll need
to add more logic:

- store the CNR returned by the tuner after calls to set_frontend;

- if the stored CNR is -1, don't run the &state->poll_snr;

- if the stored CNR is between "ok" and "good" (e. g. frequency
  shift is zero), don't run this tread. Just fill the signal
  as if the channel is tunned;

- Otherwise, run this thread.

- At suspend, stop the thread only if it was running before;
- At resume, start the thread only if it was suspended with the
  thread running. Extra care should be taken here, as some tuner
  status change might happen at resume time (for example, due to
  a ioctl syscall to set_frontend, or due to a release syscall).

Please add a:
			break;

as, once you get the right modulation/fec, there's no need to look up
further.
