If you want to produce debug output for failing firmware loading from file after a cold boot, yes, you might eventually be able to see that failing tuner initialization brings down i2c. If it is a additional new regression, then mercurial bisect can find the patch in question fairly quick. Mauro has a MSI cardbus device using also the card=94 entry, but at home he has no DVB-T.
