Hmm, I thought that our latest discussions had (at least partly)
obsoleted your patches. Remember that we want to always instantiate
ir_video I2C devices even when ir-kbd-i2c can't driver them, otherwise
lirc won't be able to bind to the devices in question as soon as the
legacy binding model is gone. So the conditionals in your second patch
(which is all that makes it differ from mine) are no longer desirable.

I'll work on lirc patches today or tomorrow, so that lirc doesn't break
when my patches hit mainline.

Your first patch is still interesting but it is independent from my own
patches, so it can be merged before or after, it doesn't matter.
