    V4L/DVB: staging/lirc: port lirc_streamzap to ir-core · 8e9e6064
    Jarod Wilson authored
    This ports lirc_streamzap.c over to ir-core in-place, to be followed by
    a patch moving the driver over to drivers/media/IR/streamzap.c and
    enabling the proper Kconfig bits.
    
    Presently, the in-kernel keymap doesn't work, as the stock Streamzap
    remote uses an RC-5-like, but not-quite-RC-5 protocol, which the
    in-kernel RC-5 decoder doesn't cope with. The remote can be used right
    now with the lirc bridge driver though, and other remotes (at least an
    RC-6(A) MCE remote) work perfectly with the driver.
    
    I'll take a look at making the existing RC-5 decoder cope with this odd
    duck, possibly implement another standalone decoder engine, or just
    throw up my hands and say "meh, use lirc"... But the driver itself
    should be perfectly sound.
    
    Remaining items on the streamzap TODO list:
    - add LIRC_SET_REC_TIMEOUT-alike support
    - add LIRC_GET_M{AX,IN}_TIMEOUT-alike support
    - add LIRC_GET_REC_RESOLUTION-alike support
    
    All of the above should be trivial to add. There are patches pending to
    add this support to ir-core from Maxim Levitsky, and I'll take care of
    these once his patches get integrated. None of them are currently
    essential though.
