Very nice, excellent work. Sorry, my weekend was crazy so I never managed to 
test your tree, even though I saw your email. Today and tomorrow won't be much 
better as I'll be preparing to head out to LPC.

A couple of things on my mind currently:

1. I'd like to test this asap and give you some feedback. This is a very welcome 
addition to the cx23885/25840 driver codebase. In reality this could be a week 
or so.

2. Once you have your patch-sets in order I'd like to pull those patches and do 
some HVR1850 analog encoder work. I have some small patches pending that should 
immediately allow me to start testing various aspects of analog. (Unrelated to 
your IR work but highly related to the fact you're fixed up the clocks inside 
the 25840 nicely).

3. Getting RC5 IR support on the existing HVR1800/HVR1250 would be _really_ nice 
and from the sound of it an incremental step built on the current work. I think 
from memory you only have HVR1600 and HVR1850 Hauppauge boards. Is this correct? 
I want to bring a couple of 'samples' to LPC for you.... Assuming you're 
interested. Let me know as my luggage space will be tight.

4. I'm hoping we'll sample a beer or two in Portland ;)
