Hi Hans,
Thank you for the patch.

I'd update the description too.

And this parameter doesn't exist anymore. You could have caught that by
compiling the documentation.

Interesting how this code was not used. I've had a look at tuner-core driver
out of curiosity, it clearly shows its age :/ I2C address probing belongs to
another century.

I wouldn't have dared making such a statement as I don't trust myself as being
able to give such a guarantee after reading the code :-)
