Trouble with i2c and bttv

[mds@paradyne.com (Mark D. Studebaker )]

What I mean is that we need to be prepared
to followup the i2c layer patch with the bttv fixup relatively quickly,
(you don't want the i2c patch to go in late in a release cycle either)
and the fixup may take some time, so in practice you may want to get started
on the fixup before you send in the i2c patch.
