A collection of lookup tables that map infrared remote control button codes to standard Linux input key events. They cover hundreds of remotes shipped with TV tuner cards, set-top boxes, and media center PCs, letting the rc-core subsystem translate a button press on, say, a Hauppauge or Pinnacle remote into a recognisable key like KEY_PLAY or KEY_VOLUMEUP.
This is not actually a hardware driver; it is a directory of data tables consumed by the remote-control input core. The keymaps describe which button on which remote corresponds to which Linux key code, and they ship alongside the actual IR receiver drivers rather than driving any chip themselves.

codex reasoning notes (technical)
Not a driver directory: contains infrared remote-control keymap tables used by rc-core/input mappings, not kernel-bound hardware driver implementation code.
