Make a directory for each remote you have; this will cause a new input devices to be created. Inside these directories make a directory for each key on the remote. In the key directory attributes fill in the protocol, device, command, keycode. Since this is configfs all of this can be easily scripted.

Maybe those -s should be /s?
