Since I pulled in drm-fixes I get different behaviour when probing for the ch7036, in my kernel log I now get:
[drm] GMBUS timed out, falling back to bit banging on pin 0 [i915 gmbus disabled]
[drm] GMBUS timed out, falling back to bit banging on pin 4 [i915 gmbus dpc]
[drm] GMBUS timed out, falling back to bit banging on pin 5 [i915 gmbus dpb]
[drm] GMBUS timed out, falling back to bit banging on pin 6 [i915 gmbus reserved]
[drm] GMBUS timed out, falling back to bit banging on pin 7 [i915 gmbus dpd]

The probe still fails, on some i2c buses I get as before:

XAUTHORITY=/home/mythtv/.Xauthority ./ch7036_monitor -v -p -d/dev/i2c-2
./ch7036_monitor: starts
Found device ID 0xff
./ch7036_monitor: Fatal: Device ID 0xff not the expected 0x56

whilst on others:

XAUTHORITY=/home/mythtv/.Xauthority ./ch7036_monitor -v -p -d/dev/i2c-4
./ch7036_monitor: starts
Write byte fail (3, 03, 04): No such device or addressFound device ID 0xffffffff
./ch7036_monitor: Fatal: Device ID 0xffffffff not the expected 0x56
