media: staging: remove lirc_zilog driver
The ir-kbd-i2c driver behaves like the lirc_zilog driver, except it can send raw IR and receives scancodes rather than lirccodes. The lirc_zilog driver only polls if the lirc chardev is opened; similarly the ir-kbd-i2c driver only polls if the corresponding input device is opened, or the lirc device. Polling is disabled during IR transmission through the mutex. The polling period is 402ms in the ir-kdb-i2c driver, and 260ms in the lirc_zilog driver.

1. Both ir-kbd-i2c and lirc_zilog provide support for RX events for
|
||||
the chips supported by lirc_zilog. Before moving lirc_zilog out of staging:
|
||||
|
||||
a. ir-kbd-i2c needs a module parameter added to allow the user to tell
|
||||
ir-kbd-i2c to ignore Z8 IR units.
|
||||
|
||||
b. lirc_zilog should provide Rx key presses to the rc core like ir-kbd-i2c
|
||||
does.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
2. lirc_zilog module ref-counting need examination. It has not been
|
||||
verified that cdev and lirc_dev will take the proper module references on
|
||||
lirc_zilog to prevent removal of lirc_zilog when the /dev/lircN device node
|
||||
is open.
|
||||
|
||||
(The good news is ref-counting of lirc_zilog internal structures appears to be
|
||||
complete. Testing has shown the cx18 module can be unloaded out from under
|
||||
irw + lircd + lirc_dev, with the /dev/lirc0 device node open, with no adverse
|
||||
effects. The cx18 module could then be reloaded and irw properly began
|
||||
receiving button presses again and ir_send worked without error.)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
3. Bridge drivers, if able, should provide a chip reset() callback
|
||||
to lirc_zilog via struct IR_i2c_init_data. cx18 and ivtv already have routines
|
||||
to perform Z8 chip resets via GPIO manipulations. This would allow lirc_zilog
|
||||
to bring the chip back to normal when it hangs, in the same places the
|
||||
original lirc_pvr150 driver code does. This is not strictly needed, so it
|
||||
is not required to move lirc_zilog out of staging.
|
||||
|
||||
Note: Both lirc_zilog and ir-kbd-i2c support the Zilog Z8 for IR, as programmed
|
||||
and installed on Hauppauge products. When working on either module, developers
|
||||
must consider at least the following bridge drivers which mention an IR Rx unit
|
||||
at address 0x71 (indicative of a Z8):

||||
ivtv cx18 hdpvr pvrusb2 bt8xx cx88 saa7134
