This line simply won't work:
struct i2c_algo_bit_data *algod = client->adapter->algo_data;
The contents of algo_data is private to the adapter. This code only
works when using the default i2c adapter. When another adapter is used
this is no longer valid. It hasn't worked for quite some time now with
ivtv (ever since the ivtv-specific adapter was introduced to fix reset
problems with the IR blaster) and it corrupted internal data when used
with the adapter in pvrusb2.
Since the actual load time gained is not all the big I thought it wise
to remove it altogether.
What I would really like to see is some mechanism of loading the
firmware as a background process. I did some experiments, but it
already turns out that that isn't as easy as I thought.
