Ah, the joys of trying to control a codebase that is out of your control :)

It looks like the big zoran driver update that went into the 2.6 kernel
tree added an id for number 54:
	#define I2C_DRIVERID_ADV7170	54	/* video encoder	*/

As that driver also has 3 other ids, I guess they got there first.

I've cced the person who sent in the patch to Linus for this driver.

Personally, I think we should just make the Radeon #55 as I've done in
the 2.6 tree and move on, we all have better things to do with our
time...

thanks,
