IR support on FusionHDTV cards is broken since kernel 2.6.31. One side
effect of the switch to the standard binding model for IR I2C devices
was to let i2c-core do the probing instead of the ir-kbd-i2c driver.
There is a slight difference between the two probe methods: i2c-core
uses 0-byte writes, while the ir-kbd-i2c was using 0-byte reads. As
some IR I2C devices only support reads, the new probe method fails to
detect them.
For now, revert to letting the driver do the probe, using 0-byte
reads. In the future, i2c-core will be extended to let callers of
i2c_new_probed_device() provide a custom probing function.
