Hi Gene, Andrew, all,

(Gene, note that I cannot write to you directly because Verizon are
idiots. Let's just hope you'll read that.)

I've dropped the "id" member of struct i2c_client, as it were useless.
Third-party driver authors now need to do the same.

Patches to pcHDTV 1.6 and 2.0 attached (untested). Feel free to push the
latter to the author of hdPCTV. Note that the removed struct member was
really not used before, so the driver will still work with earlier
kernels.

I second that, especially since the pcHDTV package is made up of
modified bttv and cx88 drivers, not an original driver. Merging the
changes into the kernel would obviously make everyone's life easier.

As a side note, I have (many) other changes to the i2c subystem in my
plans, some of them are rather intrusive, so expect pcHDTV to break
again soon, unless it gets merged until then.

THRM is most likely a temperature you get from /proc/acpi/thermal_zone,
and isn't related with the w83627hf driver.

I think that you are affected by recent changes made by the ACPI folks
to the way resources are reserved. See bug #4014:
  http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4014

You can check /proc/ioports on the working system after loading
w83627hf, and compare with /proc/ioports on the non-working system. I'd
expect you to find that the non-working system has reserved a subrange
of what the w83627hf driver attempts to grab, making it fail.
