Well, for board EM28174_BOARD_PCTV_290E, it first attaches cxd2820r
and then the tuner tda18271.

I suspect that the issue is at cxd2820r. Could you please apply this
patch:
	http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=0db3fa2741ad8371c21b3a6785416a4afc0cc1d4 
and see if it solves the issue?

Thanks!
Mauro
