The attached commit is only fixing module autoloading for the I2C driver
so is just exposing a existent bug. If you built the driver in the image
instead of as a module, the bug should be present even with that commit
reverted.
Yes, I realize that. The thing is the LIRC receive support on the
hdpvr has been notoriously flaky, at least in MythTV circles, and
often causes recording instability. Previously, with the autoloading
bug, most hdpvr users weren't affected by it unless they manually
loaded the appropriate LIRC modules. Now, with the autoloading bug
fixed, many unsuspecting hdpvr users will experience the instability
when upgrading kernels.
