Re: Flyvideo 2k/3k IR remote

Just wanted to report this works great with my FlyVIDEO2000, which 
has a RM-050 remote control. Thanks for your excellent work!

I noticed something strange when testing it with irw. The 
remote never produces more than six repetitions of a button, then 
stops, and starts over. This is probably more easily shown with a 
dump of irw:
	000000000000001b 00 MUTE lircd.conf.fly3k
	000000000000001b 01 MUTE lircd.conf.fly3k
	000000000000001b 02 MUTE lircd.conf.fly3k
	000000000000001b 03 MUTE lircd.conf.fly3k
	000000000000001b 04 MUTE lircd.conf.fly3k
	000000000000001b 05 MUTE lircd.conf.fly3k
	000000000000001b 06 MUTE lircd.conf.fly3k
	000000000000001b 00 MUTE lircd.conf.fly3k
	000000000000001b 01 MUTE lircd.conf.fly3k
	000000000000001b 02 MUTE lircd.conf.fly3k
	000000000000001b 03 MUTE lircd.conf.fly3k
	000000000000001b 04 MUTE lircd.conf.fly3k
	000000000000001b 05 MUTE lircd.conf.fly3k
	000000000000001b 00 MUTE lircd.conf.fly3k
This causes buttons like mute that shouldn't repeat, to repeat. Is 
this is a hardware limitation (some funky key repeat built into the 
remote), or a software artifact?

Now a couple comments on naming. Since this is working, and quite 
well!, let's get into the upstream sources. lirc_gpio_s should be 
renamed to lirc_saa7134 (like Steven suggested). I think the remote 
should be named after the remote, and not the card. I don't own a 
FV3k so naming the remote fly3k makes no sense for me. The remote I 
have is labelled RM-050; I would use that name.

Thanks!
Shaun
