See hauppauge_hvr930c_init(), terratec_h5_init() and terratec_htc_stick_init(). These functions are called from em28xx_dvb_init() at module init. Module init is async, so yes, this is (or could at least become) a problem... I wonder if we can't simply remove all those writes to EM28XX_R06_I2C_CLK from em28xx-dvb. This is what the functions are doing: hauppauge_hvr930c_init() ... em28xx_write_reg(dev, EM28XX_R06_I2C_CLK, 0x40); msleep(10); em28xx_write_reg(dev, EM28XX_R06_I2C_CLK, 0x44); msleep(10); ... [init sequence for slave at address 0x82] em28xx_write_reg(dev, EM28XX_R06_I2C_CLK, 0x44); msleep(30); em28xx_write_reg(dev, EM28XX_R06_I2C_CLK, 0x45); msleep(10); terratec_h5_init(): ... em28xx_write_reg(dev, EM28XX_R06_I2C_CLK, 0x40); msleep(10); em28xx_write_reg(dev, EM28XX_R06_I2C_CLK, 0x45); msleep(10); ... terratec_htc_stick_init() ... em28xx_write_reg(dev, EM28XX_R06_I2C_CLK, 0x40); msleep(10); em28xx_write_reg(dev, EM28XX_R06_I2C_CLK, 0x44); msleep(10); ... All three boards are using the following settings: .i2c_speed = EM2874_I2C_SECONDARY_BUS_SELECT | EM28XX_I2C_CLK_WAIT_ENABLE | EM28XX_I2C_FREQ_400_KHZ = 0x45 So what these functions are doing is - switch to bus A and do nothing fo 10ms - overwrite board settings for reg 0x06 with a local value (clears EM28XX_I2C_FREQ_400_KHZ permanently for the HTC-Stick !). I can test the HVR-930C next week.
