This driver is terribly broken! Key repeat does not work correctly. A correct driver would send for a single short press:
Should I report this upstream to the kernel?
Yes.
There is a bug in the remote plugin. It misinterprets Reset as a key release. Reset should be ignored. Please try the attached patch.
I applied it, rebuilt the remote module and restarted vdr, but it doesn't seem to have made a huge difference, but is that just because the kernel is spewing way too many events?
The patch would only make a difference if the kernel didn't send any bogus release events. The patch was necessary for the cx88 remote, because otherwise the remote plugin would convert each repeat event to a new key press event.
