[media] staging: media: lirc: Replace timeval with ktime_t in lirc_parallel.c
'struct timeval tv' and 'struct timeval now' is used to calculate the elapsed time. 'LIRC_SFH506_DELAY' is a delay t_phl in usecs. 32-bit systems using 'struct timeval' will break in the year 2038, so we have to replace that code with more appropriate types. This patch changes the lirc_parallel.c file of media: lirc driver to use ktime_t. ktime_get() is better than using do_gettimeofday(), because it uses the monotonic clock. ktime_sub is used to subtract two ktime variables. ktime_to_us() is used to convert ktime to microsecond. New ktime_t variable timeout, is added in lirc_off(),to improve clarity. Introduced a new ktime_t variable in lirc_lirc_irq_handler() function, to avoid the use of signal variable for storing seconds in the first part of this function as later it uses a time unit that is defined by the global "timer" variable. This makes it more clear. ktime_set() is used to set a value in seconds to a value in nanosecond so that ktime_compare() can be used appropriately. ktime_compare() is used to compare two ktime values. ktime_add_ns() is used to increment a ktime value by 1 sec. One comment is also shifted a line up, as it was creating a 80 character warning. Build tested it. Also tested it with sparse.
