[pvrusb2] pvrusb2 vs. em8300

[Mike Isely]

I wonder if an I2C driver related to the em8300 is probing the pvrusb2 bus 
and screwing up the msp3400?  (That's the audio processor.)  This wouldn't 
match with the behavior Roger is getting, but there's an easy test you can 
try.  Let's force the msp3400 to reset.  Do this after em8300 is 
installed and established:

modprobe -r msp3400
modprobe msp3400

That will cause the msp3400 module to reinitialize and as a side effect 
the audio hardware will be reprogrammed.  The pvrusb2 driver will feed 
config data to msp3400 when it reappears.

A more brute force thing you can do is also this: Just power cycle the PVR 
USB2 hardware after em8300 is established.  Do that produce an interesting 
result.  I apologize if you've already tried this (but I want to be sure 
this has been tried).
