Hi,

    Thanks for your reply. But what if the module required specific 
options? For example , it need to pass bit_test=1 to i2c-algo-bit and 
card=77 to bttv module.

The data:

Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Audio Capture (rev 11)
109e:0878

modules.conf:
options i2c-algo-bit bit_test=1
options bttv card=77
