Hi.

As I understand, this hardware returns sampled IR signal, so it can be
used with any remote, right?

Then why not to implement lirc driver?

This driver as I understand is a driver for single remote shipped with
the notebook.

I have recently wrote a lirc driver for  my receiver, a lirc driver. Now
I can use all my remotes.

And no, I don't need any software support for that. LIRC happily
forwards all events via uinput to kernel, so I use it a an ordinary
keyboard.

Best regards,
