Line too long. As you're touching on it, please also fix the long line
warning.

Don't keep the "extern" here:

CHECK:AVOID_EXTERNS: extern prototypes should be avoided in .h files
#185: FILE: drivers/media/dvb-frontends/dvb_dummy_fe.h:15:
+extern struct dvb_frontend *dvb_dummy_fe_ofdm_attach(void);

CHECK:AVOID_EXTERNS: extern prototypes should be avoided in .h files
#186: FILE: drivers/media/dvb-frontends/dvb_dummy_fe.h:16:
+extern struct dvb_frontend *dvb_dummy_fe_qpsk_attach(void);

CHECK:AVOID_EXTERNS: extern prototypes should be avoided in .h files
#187: FILE: drivers/media/dvb-frontends/dvb_dummy_fe.h:17:
