As Trent already pointed out, adding support for raw IR through an input
device would require a new interface too. You just put the label "input
device" on it. This does not make much sense for me.

I'm not sure what two ways you are talking about. With the patches posted
by Jarod, nothing has to be changed in userspace.
Everything works, no code needs to be written and tested, everybody is
happy.

We had exactly the same discussion around one year ago. I've seen no new
arguements in the current discussion and nobody came up with this shiny
new way of integrating LIRC into the input layer since last year. Maybe
it's about time to just accept that the LIRC interface is the way to go.

Can we finally get the patch integrated, please?

Christoph
