Hi Mario, I don't think there are negative side effects to this; I am matching specifically this:

contains_ncase="saa7134 ir"

which is the infrared function of the chipset, which is bound to make LIRC fail if we don't do this.

If people install lirc, I would have this added automatically to the blacklist. These days there are a few new easy configuration tools for remotes based on lircs so people with legacy HW will run into this problem.

The use of blacklisting stuff from HAL has been suggested by laga and is used in other cases as well.

Thanks,
Ari
