Hello, Some years ago I wrote a tool called "inputlirc" that translates evdev events into LIRC events, to allow remotes that then already used the input system to work with LIRC. At the time, lircd itself could do this, but you had to "train" it to "decode" evdev bitstreams. Instead, inputlirc uses a fixed mapping between evdev names and LIRC key names, so you don't need to train or configure anything.
No longer necessary, there's a proper devinput lircd userspace driver that when paired with an lircd.conf (auto-generated based on linux/input.h) Just Works.

It seems that if you want to merge LIRC into the kernel, and have it generate standard events,
It already can. If your button names in lircd.conf match button names in input.h, lircd can reinject the key presses into the input subsystem via uinput.
