FYI, the code I added to hdpvr-i2c.c will perform 2 accesses to the chip to check for existence, by virtue of a call to i2c_new_probed_device() (or whatever it is called). The I2C subsystem tries to talk the chip to see if it exists. If you are really concerned about corner cases that may hang, add a module option to hdpvr to disable I2C and/or IR in the hdpvr driver. With that users in the field can work-around the problem without rebuilding modules.
