Hmmm. Well then good. It's more than what I would have expected. The breakage I would have expected is probably kernel dependent then. I know I2C subsystem maintainer worked with me to keep ir-kbd-i2c working when he did his changes to the kernel. (LIRC is out of kernel right now, so changes to the kernel don't wait for LIRC.) I'm not going to look at it too hard at the problem, and am happy that it continues to work for you. What kernel version are you using?
