Feature request: Kernel config option to enable/disable IR interface per adapter

Hello

When dealing with multiple different adapters, it does not make sense to have the IR interfaces of all adapters active. Like a DVB-T and a DVB sat adapter in one system.

It would not solve the issue when having multiple of the same adapters by that is may be a next step to think about.

Regards
Peter

BTW: Is the following IR port patch for a Tevi S460 going to make it in the main stream code base?
