Motivation for this change

libraspberrypi provides some hardware bindings to RPi devices. Notably, libcec can utilise it to enable control by connected TV's remotes. libcec has been modified to add (by default disabled) support for this.

Example usage on RPi:

{
  nixpkgs.overlays = [ (self: super: {
    libcec = super.libcec.override {
      inherit (self) libraspberrypi;
    };
  }) ];
}

It makes my media center actually respond ;)
