Hi Mauro, All

Would it be an alternative to let lirc do the mapping and just let the 
driver pass the codes of the remote to the event port.

I don't think that blindly passing IR codes through input layer is a
good idea, for the same reason we don't do that for HID and PS/2
anymore - task of the kernel is to provide unified interface to the
hardware devices instead of letting userspace deal with the raw data
streams.
