I disagree it's more "evil" (or at least I fail to see how it would
be).
Because the Kernel would be lying to userspace. If one tells the Kernel
to
disable something, it should do it, or otherwise return an error
explaining
why disabling was not possible.
Would really you be happier with a patch so that writing "-lirc" to the
sysfs file returns an error?
