Doesn't the nuvoton-cir driver need to know the IR protocol for wakeup?

This is needed for winbond-cir; I guess this should be another sysfs
file, something like "wakeup_protocol". Even if the nuvoton can only
handle one IR protocol, maybe it should be exported (readonly) via
sysfs?

I'm happy to help with a winbond-cir implementation; I have the hardware.
