Neither do I.

IIRC the problem occurred with stv0299-based budget cards. These cards
did not use I2C_SHORT_DELAY for i2c transfers. Should be fixed now.

If required, stv0299_set_voltage() can be modified to reduce the number
of i2c transfers. If will do it if necessary.

@Jeremy:
Does the attached patch fix your problem?
