V4L/DVB: staging/lirc: port lirc_streamzap to ir-core
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.
