If the sample below is what your "remote control errors" in syslog is,
the attached patch gets rid of it.

When an unknown key code is received, it is not eaten and the module
keeps yelling about it using printk()s. A bunch of times per second.
Until the next valid key code is received. And this happens as soon as I
use any unsupported device (like power on/off my surround system). The
Nova-T IR receiver gets the IR code by accident and as a result the
module starts screaming.
I'm not sure but this screaming possibly killed (rebooted) my box as
well. I applied the new code, tested it for a few hours, and then went
to bed last night. When I woke up the box had rebooted (no mentions of
why in syslog, though). After applying the attached patch, my system has
been stable (about a 10 hours by now).
I'm still not entirely satisfied with the RC solution for dvb-usb-remote
(translating with a hardcoded list in the module and then sending
(sometimes in-)appropriate key codes in to the kernel as though entered
by the keyboard. Anyone know if it would be difficult to deliver the
received key codes through a netlink device (or similar) that can be
read by lircd? I'd prefer a solution that doesn't require a patch
+recompile for each new IR thingy I use....
My system has one Nova-T Stick (2040:7050), one Nova-T-500 (2040:9950),
and one Nova-TD Stick (2040:9580).
