    DVB: dvb-usb-remote - fix oops when changing keymap
    
    DVB USB remotes do not support changing keycode maps but set
    input_dev->keycodesize and input_dev->keycodemax without setting
    input_dev->keycode. This causes kernel oops when user tries to
    look up (or change) current keymap.
    
    While the proper fix would be to make remotes handle keymap changes
    we'll just remove keycodemax and keycodesize initialization so
    EVIOCGKEYCODE and EVIOCSKEYCODE will simply return -EINVAL.
