Full ACK. The frontend API is specified to be asynchronous, if userland sets filters before the frontend reports successful tuning it's its own fault.
I am not sure that is what happened, I think you could get stale data anyway.
IMHO the code must be removed, because some software relies on the non-blocking behaviour of FE_SET_FRONTEND.

Please make it not deliver stale data on sync calls at least.
It is like opening a socket and first getting some old data from the previous socket user. I think that is a bad API.
