Currently, V4L uses a scancode table whose index is the scancode and
the value is the keycode. While this works, it has some drawbacks:
1) It requires that the scancode to be at the range 00-7f;
2) keycodes should be masked on 7 bits in order for it to work;
3) due to the 7 bits approach, sometimes it is not possible to replace
the default keyboard to another one with a different encoding rule;
4) it is different than what is done with dvb-usb approach;
5) it requires a typedef for it to work. This is not a recommended
Linux CodingStyle.
This patch is part of a larger series of IR changes. It basically
replaces the IR_KEYTAB_TYPE tables by a structured table:
struct ir_scancode {
u16 scancode;
u32 keycode;
};
This is very close to what dvb does. So, a further integration with DVB
code will be easy.
While we've changed the tables, for now, the IR keycode handling is still
based on the old approach.
The only notable effect is the redution of about 35% of the ir-common
module size:
text data bss dec hex filename
6721 29208 4 35933 8c5d old/ir-common.ko
5756 18040 4 23800 5cf8 new/ir-common.ko
In thesis, we could be using above u8 for scancode, reducing even more the size
of the module, but defining it as u16 is more convenient, since, on dvb, each
scancode has up to 16 bits, and we currently have a few troubles with rc5, as their
scancodes are defined with more than 8 bits.
This patch itself shouldn't be doing any functional changes.

Hello kernel developers.
I found a bug report from an user in launchpad. I just copy it here. It
includes patch.
I don't own the necessary hardware to test it but the patch looks
trivial.
I'm not subscribed to this list, so please CC me. Thanks!

remote control for my tv card doesnt work
I have Askey CPH03x TV Capturer.
When I load bttv module with "card=59" option which is proper for this

I can watch tv with sound but my remote control doesnt work. There is no
ir

When bttv module is loaded with "card=137" option remote control works
very

IR were not working for Winfast XP 2000 TV.
Gabor Nyekhelyi <n0gabor@vipmail.hu> wrote a hack some time ago:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-video&m=116362609323281&w=2
This patch fixes CodingStyle and commits the hack. I suspect that the proper
solution would be to find the proper mask_keydown for this IR. Anyway, better
to have this patch as a workaround.
Thanks to Stafan Talpalaru <stefantalpalaru@yahoo.com> for pointing the issue.
