This patch series adds the core lirc device interface, lirc_dev, and an ir-core bridge driver. Currently, only the receive side is wired up in the bridge driver, but adding transmit support is up next. Currently, adding this code allows any raw IR ir-core device driver to pass raw IR out to the lirc userspace, without the driver having to have any actual knowledge of lirc -- its just feeding data to another IR protocol decoder engine. This also (hopefully) makes life easier for any currently out-of-tree pure lirc device drivers, as they can count on the lirc core bits being present. This is a Good Thing(tm) while we work on porting additional lirc device drivers to ir-core, and also makes life easier for users to migrate from lirc decoding to in-kernel decoding (where possible) when their device's driver gets ported. This patchset has been tested with the ir-core mceusb driver, and IR receive behaves 100% identical in lirc mode to the old lirc_mceusb.
