This driver collects the timings of the edges on the gpio line, and sends them to the IR decoders. Waking up the cpu out of cpuidle causes random delays and therefore timing are off, on some hardware. This setting turns off cpuidle for a period to prevent these problems. Note that on this soc cpuidle is causing huge delays, 500 microseconds or so. Sean
