Please copy the Linux Media ML to all Remote Controller drivers. There's
where we're discussing those drivers. No need to c/c linux-input.

Yeah, both lirc_atiusb and lirc_i2c were now obsoleted by upstream
non-staging drivers. I suggest to just drop it from Arch Linux.

Not sure about lirc_wpc8769l. David/Sean/Juan can have a better view.

Btw, there are also a number of lirc staging drivers under
drivers/staging/media/lirc/. We'd love some help trying to convert them
to use the rc core, moving them out of staging.
