Hi David and Juan,

I'm going through the various out-of-tree LIRC drivers to see if we
can stop shipping them in Arch Linux [0]. So far it appears we can
drop all except for lirc_wpc8769l [1] (PnP id WEC1020).

Please copy the Linux Media ML to all Remote Controller drivers. There's
where we're discussing those drivers. No need to c/c linux-input.

Yeah, both lirc_atiusb and lirc_i2c were now obsoleted by upstream
non-staging drivers. I suggest to just drop it from Arch Linux.

Not sure about lirc_wpc8769l. David/Sean/Juan can have a better view.

Btw, there are also a number of lirc staging drivers under
drivers/staging/media/lirc/. We'd love some help trying to convert them
to use the rc core, moving them out of staging.

I noticed the comment in windownd-cir [2]:

 *  Currently supports the Winbond WPCD376i chip (PNP id WEC1022), but
 *  could probably support others (Winbond WEC102X, NatSemi, etc)
 *  with minor modifications.

What are your thoughts on adding support for WEC1020 upstream? Is
anyone interested in doing this work (I sadly don't have the correct
device, so can't really do it myself)?

Cheers,

Tom
