This patch fixes only a part of the problem.

If this is the way how you want to handle CONFIG_DVB_FE_CUSTOMIZE=y, 
I don't understand why you don't use
  #if defined(CONFIG_DVB_TDA826X) || (defined(CONFIG_DVB_TDA826X_MODULE) && defined(MODULE))
which is what I stated in exactly the thread you quote.
