You don't need this. Let's the protocol to be adjustable via sysfs. All you need to do is
to use the set_protocol callbacks with something like:
props->allowed_protos = IR_TYPE_RC6 | IR_TYPE_<imon protocol>;
props->change_protocol = imon_ir_change_protocol;
You can see an example of such implementation at drivers/media/video/em28xx-em28xx-input.c.
Look for em28xx_ir_change_protocol() function.
That's said, I'm not sure what would be better way to map IR_TYPE_<imon protocol>. Maybe we
can just use IR_TYPE_OTHER.
So, basically, we'll have:
IR_TYPE_OTHER | IR_TYPE_RC6 - auto-detected between RC-6 and iMON
IR_TYPE_OTHER - iMON proprietary protocol
IR_TYPE_RC6 - RC-6 protocol
By doing this, the userspace application ir-keycode will already be able to handle the
IR protocol.
I'm not sure how to map the "PAD stablilize" case, but it seems that the better would be to
add a sysfs node for it, at sys/class/rc/rc0. There are other cases where some protocols
may require some adjustments, so I'm thinking on having some protocol-specific properties there.
Except for that, the patch looked sane to my eyes. So, I'll add it on my tree and wait for a
latter patch from you addressing the protocol control.
