The av7110 driver does it exactly this way. I did a lot of testing to find the optimal method. ;-) (1) The repeat timer of the input layer must be turned off, and the natural repeat rate of the RC5 frames should be used. Anything else will result in inaccurate operation. (2) The key-up timeout should be set to 280ms or higher (>= 2x repeat rate). This will allow for one missing RC5 frame which may happen due to transmission errors.
