More than an LED this is the driver of a remote controller, the
driver itself is under drivers/media/rc/.

Besides all the transmitters have an LED but still they are media
devices. This is a bit special because it's so simple that the
only hardware left is the LED itself, but still it's a media remote
controller.

As I mentioned above, all transmitters have an LED, but they do
not have the 'led' name. "ir-spi" is coherent with the device
driver name and the driver name is coherent with the media/rc
driver's naming.

OK, thanks!

Yes, thanks!

Will add more details, thanks.

If it's OK for you, I would keep the name and documentation path
and fix the rest. Please let me know if I'm missing something :)

Thanks,
Andi
