I suppose we could add MSC_SCAN_END event so that we can transmit
"scancodes" of arbitrary length. You'd get several MSC_SCAN followed by
MSC_SCAN_END marker. If you don't get MSC_SCAN_END assume the code is 32
bit.

And I set a timeout to know that no MSC_SCAN_END will arrive? This is
broken design IMHO.

EV_SYN signals the end of state transmission.

Furthermore lircd needs to know the length of the scan code in bits, not
as a multiple of 32.

I really do not think that LIRCD is the type of application that should
be using evdev interface, but rather other way around.

Well, all I'm asking is that lircd can keep using the LIRC interface for  
getting the scan codes. ;-)
