Consider passing the decoded data through lirc_dev. - there's a large user base already that uses this mode through lirc and would be forced to switch to input layer if it disappears. - that way all IR drivers would consistently use lirc interface and all PnP hooks could be implemented there in one place. - drivers like lirc_imon that have to support both raw and decoded mode, currently have to implement both the lirc and the input interface. Complexity could be reduced in such cases. But maybe this is necessary anyway for lirc_imon that also includes mouse functionality. Jarod? Christoph
