ir-core.h has the kABI to be used by the bridge drivers, when needing to register
IR protocols and pass IR events. However, the same file also contains IR subsystem
internal calls, meant to be used inside ir-core and between ir-core and the raw
decoders.
Better to move those functions to an internal header, for some reasons:
1) Header will be a little more cleaner;
2) It avoids the need of recompile everything (bridge/hardware drivers, etc),
just because a new decoder were added, or some other internal change were needed;
3) Better organize the ir-core API, splitting the functions that are internal to
IR core and the ancillary drivers (decoders, lirc_dev) from the features that
should be exported to IR subsystem clients.

drivers/media/IR/ir-raw-event.c is currently written with the assumption
that all "raw" hardware will generate events only on state change (i.e.
when a pulse or space starts).
However, some hardware (like mceusb, probably the most popular IR receiver
out there) only generates duration data (and that data is buffered so using
any kind of timing on the data is futile).
Furthermore, using signed int's to represent pulse/space durations is a
well-known approach when writing ir decoders.
With this patch:
- s64 int's are used to represent pulse/space durations in ns
- a workqueue is used to decode the ir protocols outside of interrupt context
- #defines are added to make decoders clearer
- decoder reset is implemented by passing a zero duration to the kfifo queue
and decoders are updated accordingly

Some devices have in-hardware Remote Controller decoder, while others
need a software decoder to get the IR code. As each software decoder
can be enabled/disabled individually, allowing multiple protocol
decoding capability.
On the other hand, hardware decoders have a limited protocol
support, often being able of decoding just one protocol each time.
So, each type needs a different set of capabilities to control the
supported protocol(s).

Some spinlocks are not properly initialized on ir core:

So, use static initialization for the static spinlocks, instead of the
dynamic ones (currently used), as proposed by David Härdeman on one
of his RFC patches.

Now that the decoders are state machine, there's no need to create
an ancillary buffer while decoding the protocol. Just call the decoders
code directly, event by event.

This decoder is also based on a state machine, just like the NEC protocol
decoder. It is pedantic in the sense that accepts only 14 bits. As there
are some variants that outputs less bits, it needs to be improved to also
handle those.

Rewrites the keyup/keydown logic in drivers/media/IR/ir-keytable.c.
All knowledge of keystates etc is now internal to ir-keytable.c
and not scattered around ir-raw-event.c and ir-nec-decoder.c (where
it doesn't belong).
In addition, I've changed the API slightly so that ir_input_dev is
passed as the first argument rather than input_dev. If we're ever
going to support multiple keytables we need to move towards making
ir_input_dev the main interface from a driver POV and obscure away
the input_dev as an implementational detail in ir-core.

With the help of raw_register/raw_unregister, adds a sysfs group
associated with the decoder, inside the corresponding irrcv node.
Writing 1 to nec_decoder/enabled enables the decoder, while
writing 0 disables it.

Some decoders and a lirc_dev interface may need some other operations to work.
For example: IR device register/unregister and ir_keydown events may need to
be tracked.
As some operations can occur in interrupt time, and a lock is needed to prevent
un-registering a decode while decoding a key, the lock needed to be convert
into a spin lock.

Instead of hardcoding the protocols into ir-core, add a register interface
for the IR protocol decoders, and convert ir-nec-decoder into a client of
ir-core.
With this approach, it is possible to dynamically load the needed IR protocols,
and to add a RAW IR interface module, registered as one IR raw protocol decoder.
This patch opens a way to register a lirc_dev interface to work as an userspace
IR protocol decoder.

At raw_decode mode, the key is processed after the end of a timer. The
previous code resets the timer every time something is received at the IR
port. While this works fine with IR's that don't implement repeat, like
Avermedia RM-JX IR, it keeps waiting until keydown, on IR's that implement
NEC repeat command, like the Terratec yellow.
The solution is to change the behaviour to do the timeout after the first
received data.
The timeout is currently set to 15 ms, as it works fine with NEC protcocol.
It may need some adjustments to support other protocols and to better handle
spurious detections that may happen with some IR sensors.

Adds a method to pass IR raw pulse/code events into ir-core. This is
needed in order to support LIRC. It also helps to move common code
from the drivers into the core.
In order to allow testing, it implements a simple NEC protocol decoder
at ir-nec-decoder.c file. The logic is about the same used at saa7134
driver that handles Avermedia M135A and Encore FM53 boards.
