Support for Sony IR receiver USB dongle - merge request

[Eric A. <ri...@sb...>]

Hi -

I've been using an IR receiver dongle that came with an old sony machine. Recently I spent some time 
to get this IR receiver to work with LIRC using /dev/hidraw0. I've submitted my changes to a branch on 
source forge and put in a merge request. The repository is /u/rico9999/lirc.

Can someone please take a look?

I'm happy to answer questions or make changes as needed.

Thanks!
