Can you please prepare a list of required keys for Vojtech, I'm sure he 
will add them then to the API include files?

unique, but these names don't reflect the actually used decoder hardware 
which might be a good hint for the userspace application to determine 
the supported IR protocols or limitations to hook in specialized keymaps 
(one example: the AV711x firmware cuts down RC5 and RCMM keycodes to 8 
or 12 bits even if the original code had more bits, this is a hardware 
limitation).

ugly, but maybe a device name clarifying the decoder hardware type would 
help to solve issues like this.
