Hey all,
So... As I've mentioned on various forums here and there in the recent
past, I'd really like to see fedora carry the lirc drivers
(http://www.lirc.org/) in-kernel, and help push them into the upstream
kernel. I finally got around to doing something significant about it
this evening. The link below is the completion of my first attempt at a
patch tailored for upstream, based partially on work done by Mario
Limonciello for Ubuntu (cc'd).

Cool, I tossed a few build-related fixes (warnings, deprecated
interfaces/flags, etc..) on top of this up at
http://people.redhat.com/esandeen/lirc/
Very nice. Gah, at least one of those fixes some things I screwed up
merging in the latest bits from cvs...
(There's also usb stuff going on I don't understand in the commandir
driver :) but with the warning about the callback it will probably
explode when run.)
Hrm, that's not so good... I was thinking of seeing if I could find one
somewhere for cheap, but ouch, those things look pricey...
http://www.commandir.com/order/
Also given that each subdir under drivers/input/lirc generally has just
one .c file, I'd probably flatten it out, and drop everything into
drivers/input/lirc/*.c
Yeah, that idea crossed my mind too after I'd sent the mail off before
drifting off to sleep. I'll do that for the next rendition.
Also in Kconfig, INPUT_LIRC and LIRC_DEV seem a little redundant -
perhaps each individual driver should just do "select LIRC_DEV" rather
than "depends on?" and remove the prompt for LIRC_DEV?
Sounds like a good idea to me.
