It appears the high byte is sent first when using 16 bit codes. Thanks for the link Andy. You appear to be correct, which suggests that winbond-cir is the "wrong" one. Curiously there is a comment in winbond-cir.c which explicitly mentions which byte is which: 854 * With NEC extended, Address1 is the LSB of the Address and 855 * Address2 is the MSB, Command parsing remains unchanged. but then it also says: 25 * To do: 26 * o Test NEC and RC5 I suppose its all a matter of convention, but I think they should at least be consistent, so I'll go by the NEC datasheet and submit a patch to winbond-cir instead.
