I guess a new rc driver type RC_DRIVER_CEC should be introduced (existing
types are RC_DRIVER_IR_RAW and RC_DRIVER_SCANCODE). rc_register_device()
should not register the sysfs attributes specific for IR, but register
sysfs attributes for cec like a link to the device.

In addition there should be a new rc_type protocol RC_TYPE_CEC; now 
rc_keydown_notimeout() can be called for each key press.

I guess a new keymap should exist too.
