There are a few things that still need fleshing out, but nothing really
that should have any major impact on a potential port of this driver.
Off the top of my head, the main thing it would give you is the ability to
upload your own keymap for the receiver. Then someone wanting to use more
than 6 buttons or whatever it is might still be able to get the benefits
of in-kernel decoding with everything coming through the input layer,
rather than using lirc or the like.
