Remember, I see these I2C errors right after the pvrusb2 module is
loaded (during firmware initialization/load) and if the hvr-1950 is not
cold started & already preloaded with firmware from a previous boot.

(I hope I'm wording this properly and you can understand the sequence of
ops.)

I know I've tested a series of 2.29* releases and this error is
consistent.  2.6.30* releases still lock my box up & haven't had a
chance to debug.  (Likely due to Nvidia driver needing
recompiled/fixed.)

More relevant info, would be to also note the h/w revision number.  In
my case:

WinTV-HVR-1950
NTSC/ATSC/QAM
75111F
REV C3E9
(Product of Indonesia)
