After hours of thrashing around, I finally figured out that
the IRQ was misconfigured... Doh!

Here's the output from pressing '1' for one second on the RC:

I'm not sure what these mean. There seems to be some kind of
timestamp? And something else? How do I tell which protocol
this RC is using?

Repeating the test (pressing '1' for one second) with ir-keytable:

It looks like scancode 0x00 means "REPEAT" ?
And 0x4cb41 would be '1' then?

If I compile the legacy driver (which is much more cryptic)
it outputs 04 cb 41 be

So 0x4cb41 in common - plus a trailing 0xbe (what is that?
Some kind of checksum perhaps?)

(For '2', I get 04 cb 03 fc)

I'm a bit confused between "protocols", "decoders", "scancodes",
"keys", "keymaps". Is there some high-level doc somewhere?

I found this, but it seems to dive straight into API details:
https://www.linuxtv.org/downloads/v4l-dvb-apis-new/uapi/rc/remote_controllers.html

I'll start a separate thread to discuss the available IR hardware
on the board I'm using.

Regards.
