We have been debugging over IRC with Timothy, and I have a fix which he tested successfully. Basically, the problem is that the IR device on his chip only replies to read commands, but when switching ir-kbd-i2c to the standard device driver binding model in kernel 2.6.31, I changed the probing method from quick read to quick write as a side effect. This is why the IR device was no longer being detected. Using a quick read again solves the issue. Here comes a fix, tested by Timothy for the cx23885 part, untested for the cx88 part but I'd be very surprised if cx88-based FusionHDTV did not need the exact same fix * * * * * IR support on FusionHDTV cards is broken since kernel 2.6.31. One side effect of the switch to the standard binding model for IR I2C devices was to let i2c-core do the probing instead of the ir-kbd-i2c driver. There is a slight difference between the two probe methods: i2c-core uses 0-byte writes, while the ir-kbd-i2c was using 0-byte reads. As some IR I2C devices only support reads, the new probe method fails to detect them. For now, revert to letting the driver do the probe, using 0-byte reads. In the future, i2c-core will be extended to let callers of i2c_new_probed_device() provide a custom probing function. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Tested-by: "Timothy D.
