Ah, ivtv is probing for the saa7115 device. The saa7115 driver probes
among others i2c address 0x25, which is also used by the mantis.
And what's changed is that in kernel 2.6.21 the following change was
made to the saa7115.c driver:
static int saa711x_probe(struct i2c_adapter *adapter)
{
if (adapter->class & I2C_CLASS_TV_ANALOG || adapter->class &
I2C_CLASS_TV_DIGITAL)
return i2c_probe(adapter, &addr_data, &saa711x_attach);
return 0;
}
The TV_DIGITAL check was added, so now it is also suddenly used by the
mantis. Apparently added to support the Nexus CA.
The only solution at this time is to add the following module option to
saa7115: ignore=-1,0x25
This should ensure it that it ignores i2c address 0x25. Work is being
done to make probing unnecessary or at least much smarter, but that
will be quite a long transition period, most likely. For the time being
this is probably your only solution.

Hans
