Old 716x based card based DVB-S PCIe in Linux

Hi All,

This might be a long shot but since we do have some Linux gurus on the board I figured I'd would ask...

I have an old AzureWave DVB-S PCIe AD-SE200 card, it's basically a Twinhan VP-1028 card, and I'd like to do some tests with it in my Linux box. The card uses the 7160 and MB86A16 chips.

I've followed the instruction at github.com/ljalves/linux_media/wiki/Installating in order to get the open source drivers built but when I load the module I get the i2c_xfer error. This happens on both Ubuntu 14.04 (kernel 3.13) and 16.04 (kernel 4.4.0). 

Code:

...
 saa716x_dvb_init (0): Frontend Init
 saa716x_vp1028_frontend_attach (0): Adapter (0) Power ON
 saa716x_vp1028_frontend_attach (0): Adapter (0) Reset
 saa716x_vp1028_frontend_attach (0): Probing for MB86A16 (DVB-S/DSS)

 saa716x_i2c_hwinit (0): Adapter (b000) Autowake <0> Active <1>

I've googled and there are other people having this problem but no solutions (or no answers). I'm not afraid of some C code since that's what I do for a living, but I've never done drivers. 

Any help would be appreciated.
