* Unplug iguanair with lirc chardev open causes kernel to go bang
* Can sir_ir and/or serial_ir use serdev

* Make the kernel mapping rc_proto:scancode -> keycode, not just scancode. This should reduce the number of possible conflicts.

* ir-ctl should list available devices if run without any argument and allow to select device based on rc (based on /sys/class/rc/).
* Make it possible to load multiple keymaps with ir-keytable. It should detect if the new keymap conflicts with any already loaded keymap, and ensure the right protocols are selected.
* bpf ir decoders need a way of specifying minimum timeout and repeat period
* *Further improvement: make the kernel mapping rc_proto:scancode -> keycode, not just scancode. This should reduce the number of possible conflicts.
* driver for sasem remote controller
* Compare lirc rc6 decoder. Can it handle multiple keypresses? What repeat/delay times does it use? See https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48761
* test if pwm-ir-tx can replace ir-rx51.c driver on n900 hardware
* lirc_zilog rc core driver (Sean Young working on this)
* Once lirc_zilog is removed, remove lirc kapi. Example is here: https://git.linuxtv.org/syoung/media_tree.git/log/?h=remove-lirc-dev
* Implement scancode reading and transmitting:
** It's very hard to tell what protocol a remote is using
** Kernel already has encoders, make sure they can be used for tx
** CEC might want to reuse this interface
** Patch series already exist for this
* MS MCE Keyboard keymap needs multiple protocols. Keymap needed to select it. https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-media@vger.kernel.org/msg115706.html
