Forward references are typically something you want to avoid.

Looking at the code, I think it makes sense to just move those two functions
to just before this dvb_class.

Also move the dvb_class (+ the two functions) to after this line. I think that's
a more suitable place for this.

This can just be 'if (retval)'.
