The ioctl can also reset the digitizer in ivtv, I don't know anything
about that.

As far the IR receiver/blaster is concerned:

This ioctl does exactly as it says and it works. There are a few ways
that the zilog microcontroller can be crashed, but I don't know of any
that exist in the current code base.

I seem to recall that the microcontroller could get stuck due particular 
i2c states, which was fixed with patches to ivtv-i2c.c. That does not mean
there aren't any others though. 

What would be nicer if the ir driver got no response, it would reset it
automatically. I'm not sure how to wire up ir-kbd-i2c with the ir reset
function of ivtv and cx18 though.

Then again with no known use cases it seems superfluous. How about removing
the ioctl and then hooking up the IR driver to the reset, should it be
necessary?
