Checking keycodesize when adjusting keymaps breaks my IR remote

[Ian Campbell]

Hi Gents,

This patch:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=112227485202277&w=2
seems to break the remote control on my PVR-350 using ir-kbd-i2c.c. 

The check "if (v >> (dev->keycodesize * 8))" in
evdev_ioctl:EVIOCSKEYCODE prevents me from loading the keymap. This is
because dev->keycodesize=4 so the size of the shift is 32 and the size
of v is also 32. For example it is called with v == 82 which gives v >>
(dev->keycodesize * 8) == 82 >> 32 which comes out as 82!

I think when the size of the shift is the size of the type, the result
of the shift is either undefined or triggers a bug in gcc (most likely
the former IMHO, but I don't have a reference to check).

There are no warnings when compiling the kernel because the shift size
is unknown at compile time, but if I explicitly write "v >> 32" then I
get: 

	warning: right shift count >= width of type

I think the solution (workaround?) is to only perform this check if
keycodesize is less than sizeof(v). I'm unsure about adding a separate
check for keycodesize > sizeof(v). Casting v to a type > 32 bits also
does the trick if you prefer.

I wonder if the same applies in drivers/char/keyboard.c?
