When the appleir kernel driver is used, the IR device acts as in input
device, not as a HID device. LIRC has to be configured to use its
dev/input driver in this case. This is a generic driver to use any
input device as lirc device. The dev/input driver relies on the key
events that are generated by the kernel.
