Many I2C controllers use an 8-bit address register, with the lowest bit
being the read/write bit (because this is the order in which the bits
are transmitted over the bus).  So it looks as if the actual address
_is_ 0x34; the S2250_VIDDEC symbol is probably a relict of the old
driver that programmed the I2C controller directly.


Best regards,
Clemens
