[media] hdpvr: enable IR part



A number of things going on here, but the end result is that the IR part
on the hdpvr gets enabled, and can be used with ir-kbd-i2c and/or
lirc_zilog.

First up, there are some conditional build fixes that come into play
whether i2c is built-in or modular. Second, we're swapping out
i2c_new_probed_device() for i2c_new_device(), as in my testing, probing
always fails, but we *know* that all hdpvr devices have a z8 chip at
0x70 and 0x71. Third, we're poking at an i2c address directly without a
client, and writing some magic bits to actually turn on this IR part
(this could use some improvement in the future). Fourth, some of the
i2c_adapter storage has been reworked, as the existing implementation
used to lead to an oops following i2c changes c. 2.6.31.

Earlier editions of this patch have been floating around the 'net for a
while, including being patched into Fedora kernels, and they *do* work.
This specific version isn't yet tested, beyond loading ir-kbd-i2c and
confirming that it does bind to the RX address of the hdpvr.
