Just as I thought... So I can erase that stuff inside the #if 0 ... #endif

I am sure the i2c address is correct.  modprobe bttv i2c_scan=1 detects 
the lgdt330x at 0x1c..... 0x1c >> 1 = 0x0e.  No questions here.

This is great information.  I knew that I was getting close with the 
GPIO settings, but now I know what specifically to look for next time I 
try to get this going.
