I don't think so. My understanding is that HID_QUIRK_IGNORE causes the 
device to be ignored by HID input _and_ HID dev.

What we want here for the IR receiver is to expose a HIDDEV interface 
(even if IS_INPUT_APPLICATION() is true...), and HID_QUIRK_HIDDEV is 
there exactly for that.

With this patch the device exposes both the HID dev and the HID input 
interfaces. The latter isn't useful but I didn't find a suitable QUIRK 
flag to force its removal.
