I think we're eventually going to want to let rc-core create a chardev per rc device to allow for things like reading out scancodes (when creating keymaps for new and unknown remotes), raw timings (for debugging in-kernel decoders and writing new ones), possibly also ioctl's (for e.g. setting all RX parameters in one go or to create/destroy additional keymaps, though I'm sure some will want all of that to go through sysfs). That same chardev could also be used to implement TX, once a suitable interface has been fleshed out. The end result might not look exactly like lirc... -- David Härdeman -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-input" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
