Andy/Dmitri, With the current i2c approach, the bridge driver is responsible for binding an i2c device into the i2c adapter. In other words, the bridge driver should have some logic to know what devices use ir-kbd-i2c, loading it at the right i2c address(es). Manually loading IR shouldn't make any difference. >From Andy's comment, I suspect that such logic is missing at cx23885 for the board you're referring. Not sure if this is the same case of the boards Dmitri is concerned about. It should be noticed that the i2c redesign happened on 2.6.31 or 2.6.32, so, if this is the case, a patch should be sent also to -stable. In the case of saa7134, Jean worked on a fix for some boards: http://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/75883/ He is currently waiting for someone with the affected boards to test it and give some return. -- Cheers, Mauro -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
