FYI, the code I added to hdpvr-i2c.c will perform 2 accesses to the chip
to check for existence, by virtue of a call to i2c_new_probed_device()
(or whatever it is called).  The I2C subsystem tries to talk the chip to
see if it exists.

If you are really concerned about corner cases that may hang, add a
module option to hdpvr to disable I2C and/or IR in the hdpvr driver.
With that users in the field can work-around the problem without
rebuilding modules.

Regards,
Andy
