    media: em28xx-dvb: simplify DVB module probing logic · ad32495b

    The module probing logic there is a way more complex than
    it should be, and requires some special magic to avoid
    stack overflows when KASAN is enabled.
    
    Solve it by creating ancillary functions to setup the
    platform data and request module.
    
    Now, the probing functions are cleaner and easier to understand.
    
    As a side effect, the size of the module was reduced by
    about 9.7% on x86_64:
