As I commented on a private e-mail, based on the patch descriptions:
Patch 17 deserves a bigger explanation. Well, the best is if you
could send a separate RFC describing what you have in mind with
patches 16-29, for our discussions, explaining what usage are you
expecting for a non-LIRC chardev,
This patch changes rc-core to use an IDA rather than a bitmap to assign
unique numbers to each rc device. This is in preparation for introducing
rc-core chardevs.
