[media] redrat3: new rc-core IR transceiver device driver
This is a new rc-core device driver for the IR transceivers made by RedRat Ltd. (http://redrat.co.uk/). It started out life as an out-of-lirc-tree lirc driver, maintained in its own repo on sourceforge, by Stephen Cox. He started porting it to what was then ir-core, and I finally picked it up about two week ago and did a fairly large overhaul on it, and its now into a state where I'm fairly comfortable submitting it here for review and inclusion in the kernel. I'm claiming authorship of this driver, since while it started out as Stephen's work, its definitely a derivative work now, at 876 lines added and 1698 lines removed since grabbing it from sourceforge. Stephen's name is retained as secondary author though, and credited in the headers. Those interested in seeing how the changes evolved can (at least for now) look at this branch in my git tree: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/jarod/linux-2.6-ir.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/redrat3 That won't be around forever though, and I'm doing this as a single commit to go into mainline. Anyway... I've successfully tested in-kernel decode of rc5, rc6 and nec remotes, as well as lirc userspace decode of rc5 and rc6. There are still some quirks here to sort out with rc5 lirc userspace decode, but I'm working with the RedRat folks themselves to figure out what's going on there (rc5 lirc decode works, but you only get an event on key release -- in-kernel rc5 decode behaves perfectly fine). Note that lirc decode of rc6 is working perfectly. Transmit is also working, tested by pointing the redrat3 at an mceusb transceiver, which happily picked up the transmitted signals and properly decoded them. There's no default remote for this hardware, so its somewhat arbitrarily set to use the Hauppauge RC5 keymap by default. Easily changed out by way of ir-keytable and irrelevant if you're using lircd for decode.
