With the upcoming removal of legacy boot, lets add support to one of the
last N900 drivers remaining without it. As the driver still uses omap
dmtimer, add auxdata as well.

+Device-Tree bindings for LIRC TX driver for Nokia N900(RX51)
+
+Required properties:
+ - compatible: should be "nokia,lirc-rx51".
lirc is a Linux term. Also, nokia,rx51-... would be conventional
ordering.
I used the driver name ("lirc_rx51") to not bring confusion. Also, it
registers itself through lirc_register_driver() call, so having lirc in its
name somehow makes sense.
I am not very good in inventing names, the best compatible I can think of is
"nokia,rx51-ir". Is that ok?
Sure, but...
Is this anything more than a PWM LED?
It is an IR LED connected through a driver to McSPI2_SIMO pin of OMAP3,
which pin can be configured as PWM or GPIO(there are other configurations,
but they don't make sense). In theory it could be used for various things
(like uni-directional serial TX, or stuff like that), but in practice it
allows N900 to be act as an IR remote controller. I guess that fits in
"nothing more than a PWM LED", more or less.
There's already a pwm-led binding that can be used. Though there may
be missing consumer IR to LED subsystem support in the kernel. You
could list both compatibles, use the rx51 IR driver now, and then move
to pwm-led driver in the future.
I looked at the pwm-leds (and related) code and couldn't see how it will
do the job of controlling IR TX LED as a remote controller. So yeah, it
seems CIR support in LEDS subsystem is non existent.
Could you elaborate on "list both compatibles", I don't really
understand what I should do.
