It's best to wait a bit. Jean Delvare is working on this ir-kbd-i2c driver 
right now and when he's finished it should be much easier to add this. Most 
importantly you can add this new i2c address to the cx18 driver rather than 
add it to the probe_bttv list, which is rather overloaded anyway.

He should be finished within 1-3 weeks I guess. Probably sooner rather than 
later. Just watch the linux-media list for it.
