Steven loaned me his HVR-1850 board last week, and I'm hoping to debug
the regression this week (I have an HVR-1800 that is also effected).
I suspect the problem is related to a codepath for the cx23888's
onboard DIF being executed for 885 based boards.  Steven did a whole
series of patches to make the cx23888 work properly and I think a
regression snuck in there.  Simply backing out the change isn't the
correct fix.

I've got all the boards and the datasheets - I just need to find a bit
of time to get the current tree installed onto a machine and plug in
the various boards...

In short, it's in my queue so please be patient.

Devin
