If several remotes are to be used on the same receiver, then they
necessarily need to generate different scancodes, don't they? Otherwise
the input driver wouldn't be able to route their events to the
respective subdevice. But if they do generate different scancodes,
there is no need to create subdevices just for EVIOCSKEYCODE's sake. (It
might still be desirable to have subdevices for other reasons perhaps.)
