If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Javier Martinez Canillas commit 329d88da4df9a96da43018aceabd3a06e6a7e7ae upstream. This is a partial revert of commit ed8d1cf07cb16d ("[media] Export I2C module alias information in missing drivers") that exported the module aliases for the I2C drivers that were missing to make autoload to work. But there is a bug report [0] that auto load of the ir-kbd-i2c driver cause the Hauppauge HD-PVR driver to not behave correctly. This is a hdpvr latent bug that was just exposed by ir-kbd-i2c module autoloading working and will also happen if the I2C driver is built-in or a user calls modprobe to load the module and register the driver. But there is a regression experimented by users so until the real bug is fixed, let's not export the module alias for the ir-kbd-i2c driver even when this just masks the actual issue.
