[pvrusb2] 1950 Remote and Transmitter

[Roger]

Please follow-up if you see " s5h1411 i2c errors" after rebooting the
computer, but leaving the hvr-1950 on during the reboot with firmwares
already loaded.

For more info, see the posts to this list with the subject " s5h1411
errors"

I've just completely uninstalled lirc here because my systems seem to be
also completely ignoring the "blacklist lirc_dev" "blacklist lirc_i2c"
options.

<shrugs>

Since I rarely use IR, with too much to do around here. :-/
