There actually *is* a proper fix for this Coming Soon upstream, but that
doesn't exactly help your situation right now. The Hauppauge remotes
typically use one of (iirc) three device codes, 0x1d, 0x1e and 0x1f. The
ir-kbd-i2c driver has historically discarded the device code, and only
passed along the key code. Some key codes aren't exactly the same between
the various device codes. The fix is that ir-kbd-i2c will no longer eat
up the device code, but rather, pass it along, allowing for a discrete
mapping for each device/key code pair.
