Okay, so apparently we didn't register with input, but only hiddev /
hidraw.

appleir 0003:05AC:8240.0005: hiddev0,hidraw4: USB HID v1.11 Device [Apple Computer, Inc. IR Receiver] on usb-0000:00:1d.3-2/input0

Therefore ->input_configured() callback has never been called, and thus we
oops due to appleir->input_dev being NULL when the first raw event is
reported.

Could you please provide report descriptor of the device?

The driver apparently relies on it being registered with hid-input, but
for some reason that doesn't happen.

Here is the relevant lsusb output that I think contains what you're
asking for (I had to unbind usbhid for it to include the descriptor):

Bus 005 Device 003: ID 05ac:8240 Apple, Inc. Built-in IR Receiver
Device Descriptor:
  bLength                18
  bDescriptorType         1
  bcdUSB               2.00
...

Ok, thanks for the report. Could you please test the following patch
which should solve your problem (hopefully)?

James,

any reults from testing Benjamin's patch, please?
