I've applied this patch, and also tweaked the text somewhat. Could you take a look please? One thing I'm still not clear about... Since kernel 4.16, does enabling LIRC_SET_REC_TIMEOUT on an FD referring to a lirc device cause all subsequently opened FDs on the lirc device to have timeouts enabled? The existing text suggests that, but it sounds like odd behavior.
