Hi, The main goal is to add support in the rc framework for IR transmitters, which currently is only supported by lirc but that is not the preferred way. The last patch adds support for an IR transmitter driven by the MOSI line of an SPI controller, it's the case of the Samsung TM2(e) board which support is currently ongoing. The last patch adds support for an IR transmitter driven by the MOSI line of an SPI controller, it's the case of the Samsung TM2(e) board which support is currently ongoing. The patchset is based on next-20161218, while the media directory is a bit more outdated. Thanks, Andi Changelog from version 5: ------------------------- patch 1: fixed rebase conflict on drivers/media/cec/cec-core.c patch 2: fixed checkpatch error patch 3: restored a Kbuild Test Robot error fix which was lost in v5 Changelog from version 4: ------------------------- patch 2: fixed a slip on a copy/paste which caused the breakage of the input interface for receivers. Thanks again Sean! Changelog from version 3: ------------------------- Added the patches Sean's review. patch 1: commit ddbf7d5a has introduced the devm_* managed version of rc_allocate_device and rc_register_device, this patch has been rebased on top of it and adds the driver type as a parameter of the devm_rc_allocate_device. patch 3: fixes a warning from the kbuild test robot patch 5: after a discussion with Rob, despite mine, Jacek's and Mauro's objections [*] the binding has been placed under leds/irled/spi-ir-led.txt patch 6: uses the new devm_* allocation and registration rc functions [*] https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-leds/msg07062.html https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-leds/msg07164.html https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-leds/msg07167.html Changelog from version 2: ------------------------- The original patch number 5 has been abandoned because it was not bringing much benenfit. patch 1: rebased on the new kernel. patch 3: removed the sysfs attribute protocol for transmitters patch 5: the binding has been moved to the leds section instead of the media. Fixed all the comments from Rob patch 6: fixed all the comments from Sean added also Sean's review. Changelog from version 1: ------------------------- The RFC is now PATCH. The main difference is that this version doesn't try to add the any bit streaming protocol and doesn't modify any LIRC interface specification. patch 1: updates all the drivers using rc_allocate_device patch 2: fixed errors and warning reported from the kbuild test robot patch 5: this patch has been dropped and replaced with a new one which avoids waiting for transmitters. patch 6: added new properties to the dts specification patch 7: the driver uses the pulse/space input and converts it to a bit stream.
