At this point it still is null, since it will only be set up in ir_raw_event_prepare(), which is called afterwards. Presumably you have udev set up to execute ir-keytable, which sets the protocol up (again). There is another problem with your patches, you've introduced a race condition. When device_add() is called, the protocol is not set up yet. So anyone reading the protocols sysfs attribute early enough will get false information. Is it not possible to make sure that it is all setup correctly at the point of device_add()? Sean
