Thanks, it works now. ir-kbd-i2c picks up the short name, input device is
created, remote
works.
Another place where truncation occurs is name field in
em78p153s_aver_ir_init_data
("ivtv-CX23416 EM78P153S AVerMedia"). Actual input device ends up with a name
"i2c IR (ivtv-CX23416 EM78P153S ", limited by char name[32] in IR_i2c struct.
IMHO actual name of resulting input device should be readable by end-user.
Perhaps it should
include the short name of the card itself, or model/color of remote control
itself if several
revisions exist, etc.
