What's up with this change? Is this a bugfix for some race condition?
Why is it jammed into a patch for some particular product?
It seems like a change such as this could significantly change the
timing of tuner initialization if you have multiple xc5000 based
products that might have a slow i2c bus. Was that intentional?
This patch should be NACK'd and resubmitted as it's own bugfix where
it's implications can be fully understood in the context of all the
other products that use xc5000.
