3.16.60-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Sean Young <sean@xxxxxxxx> commit 8d4068810d9926250dd2435719a080b889eb44c3 upstream. If there is IR in the raw kfifo when ir_raw_event_unregister() is called, then kthread_stop() causes ir_raw_event_thread to be scheduled, decode some scancodes and re-arm timer_keyup. The timer_keyup then fires when the rc device is long gone.
