Hi
Here is an updated version:

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] media/rc/imon.c: avoid flooding syslog with "unknown keypress" when keypad is pressed
My 15c2:0036 device floods syslog when a keypad key is pressed:
Feb 18 19:00:57 homeserver kernel: imon 5-1:1.0: imon_incoming_packet: unknown keypress, code 0x100fff2
Feb 18 19:00:57 homeserver kernel: imon 5-1:1.0: imon_incoming_packet: unknown keypress, code 0x100fef2
Feb 18 19:00:57 homeserver kernel: imon 5-1:1.0: imon_incoming_packet: unknown keypress, code 0x100fff2
Feb 18 19:00:57 homeserver kernel: imon 5-1:1.0: imon_incoming_packet: unknown keypress, code 0x100fff2
Feb 18 19:00:57 homeserver kernel: imon 5-1:1.0: imon_incoming_packet: unknown keypress, code 0x100fff2
This patch removes those messages from imon, following suggestion from Mauro. Unknown keys shall be correctly handled by rc/input layer.
