Hi Hermann,

With regards this patch, the i2c stuff has changed in ir-kbd-i2c.c.
I have previously successfully modified Henry's patch for various i2c 
remotes.

However it no longer works, because of this change where the probing was 
done:

Part of Henry's patch:
<snip>
c.adapter = adap;
for (i = 0; -1 != probe[i]; i++) {
c.addr = probe[i];
+
+ if (c.adapter->id == I2C_HW_SAA7134 && probe[i] == 0x0b) {
+ /* enable ir receiver */
+ buf = 0;
+ if (1 != i2c_master_send(&c,&buf,1))
+ dprintk(1,"Unable to enable ir receiver.\n");
+ }
rc = i2c_master_recv(&c,&buf,0);
dprintk(1,"probe 0x%02x @ %s: %s\n",
probe[i], adap->name,
<snip>

The new i2c setup:
<snip>
for (i = 0; -1 != probe[i]; i++) {
msg.addr = probe[i];
rc = i2c_transfer(adap, &msg, 1);
dprintk(1,"probe 0x%02x @ %s: %s\n",
probe[i], adap->name,
(1 == rc) ? "yes" : "no");
if (1 == rc) {
ir_attach(adap, probe[i], 0, 0);
break;
}
}
<snip>
I have a few saa7134 cards with i2c remotes - all of these remotes are 
completely dead.

Does anybody have a suggestion how to make this work, now?

Regards,
Timf
