Ok, tested it with a variety of NEC/NEC extended/RC-5 IR's I have, with the
saa7134 hardware. All worked.

There's just a few checkpatch.pl complains, and the most important thing:

It lacks your SOB ;)

Please fix the checkpatch.pl errors, add a kfifo size comment and your SOB
and resend it to me (or, if you prefer, just send your SOB. I can take care
of the rest, as they're just trivial things).
