It seems to be just nomenclacure ;)
what I called "IR core" you called "lirc core"
what I called "lirc core" you called "lirc_dev"
What I called IR core is the one that will be used by every IR driver, handling
sysfs, evdev's, calling decoders, etc.
I opted to use the nomenclature Lirc to the part of the IR subsystem that
will create the Lirc interface.
Currently, I almost finished the evdev part of the "IR core", using the current
API to control the dynamic keycode allocation. It is already working fine with
V4L drivers.
Cheers,
Mauro.
