Great. From looking at a similar lirc commit, this changed in 2.6.35:

Yes, IIRC the skeleton driver is only useful for debugging.

Or go for upstream acceptance and integrate with the media/rc stuff. I
guess it could then be used by the generic input layer as well as by
lirc-compatible applications, but I do not have a good overview on
this. Does anyone know how this works?

OTOH a libusb/lirc solution would be more portable.
