Sorry, it seems for some reason I didn't receive your message via CC and
only now saw it while looking at linux-input@ messages.

Indeed I have a patchset that makes it work with rc-core which I didn't
get around to posting yet (sorry about that).

I'll try to look over it now and do some more testing, and then post the
set.

Some notes about the patchset:
- The mouse handling is left as-is, and it now appears as a separate
  input device (that part of the keymap is the same for all remotes
  with mouse). The mouse device is created regardless of receiver,
  in case another type of remote is used with the receiver.
- The driver sends rc_keyup immediately after every rc_keydown, as that
  is what the driver has always done for input events as well. Doing
  otherwise would cause a regression as ghost repeats would appear
  with this driver while they didn't before.
