Will this not cause problems with devices like the cx88 though - cards using 
it can have other non-DVB i2c drivers which are registered with the kernel 
i2c. I doubt they will work particularly well if they were given an 
"unofficial" i2c_adapter.

In that case, it would have to be registered, in which case autoprobing is 
still a problem, hence why I am trying to fix autoprobing.
