Random notes about irmon:

imon_init_idev():
	memcpy(&ir->dev, ictx->dev, sizeof(struct device));

This is... scary.  Devices are refcounted and if you copy them around
all hell may break loose. On an unrelated note you do not need memcpy to
copy a structire, *it->dev = *ictx->dev will do.

imon_init_idev(), imon_init_touch(): - consizer returning proper error
codes via ERR_PTR() and check wit IS_ERR().
