We have already a tool for this, under v4l2-apps/util. It is called keytable. The tool can be used to get the current key association of an input device, generating a text file, or to load a text file into an input device. When you build the tool, the Makefile will parse several keycode tables already existing on V4L and at the common IR files, writing them into keycodes/ dir. It would be really easy to parse other files and create their tables as well.
