In what way the key interface is unsufficient for delivering button
events?

At present: 128 different keys only (RC5: one group). One remote per
device only.

The protocol itself doesn't have the above limitations, but has others,
with are acceptable for key input.

This is not a limit at the input subsystem. It were a design decision for
some drivers at the V4L subsystem that we need to change.
