"Dummy DVB Media Tuner" perhaps?

"default n" is always the default, no need to list it again here.

A bit of text here saying what the module name would be is always nice,
see other Kconfig entries for the normal text needed.

I have to ask, are you _SURE_ you want "GPL 2+" here?

No need for saying why it was written in the file like this :)

Normally this is the first comment line above in this block.

Simplify this by just doing:
return -ENOMEM;

No need to jump around the function for no actual cleanup.

Normal "pattern" is to set up the variable and after it's all ready,
then save the pointer off. In other words, reverse these two lines :)

Why do you need a .h file for a simple driver that does not export
anything to anyone else?

Not the same license as your .c file? Odd :(

If you keep this file, same comments as above for the comment block, but
really, you don't need this .h file at all, just drop it.
