Bingo! It works after *redirecting* the output of av7110_loadkeys to  
/proc/av7110_ir. Thank you for the hint!

Just two suggestions:
Please update the usage string of av7110_loadkeys, too.
Perhaps you could add a line or two to the README file
stating that there is absolutely *no* kernel output if the protocol 
and/or inversion settings are incorrect. 

I just played around with evtest and found the following:
Approx. 0,5 sec after the key-down event you always get a key-up event, 
no matter whether you hold down the key or not. Apparently, the new 
firmware generates only key-up events. Is this ok?

The old firmware generated both down _and_ up events, so it was possible 
to implement something like a auto-repeat function if you hold down the 
key for more than a second.
