filter by encoding the scancode using the raw IR encoders. This is by
way of rc_dev::encode_wakeup which should be set to true to make the

Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@osg.samsung.com>
Since commit da6e162d6a ("[media] rc-core: simplify sysfs code"), when
the IR protocol is set using the sysfs interface to the same set of
protocols that are already set, store_protocols() does not refresh the
scancode filter with the new protocol, even if it has already called the
change_protocol() callback successfully. This results in the filter
being disabled in the hardware and not re-enabled until the filter is
set again using sysfs.
Fix in store_protocols() by still re-applying the filter whenever the
change_protocol() driver callback succeeded.
The problem can be reproduced with the img-ir driver by setting a
filter, and then setting the protocol to the same protocol that is
already set:
$ echo nec > protocols
$ echo 0xffff > filter_mask
$ echo nec > protocols
After this, messages which don't match the filter were still being
received.

The regression comes from adding function change_protocol in ir-raw.c.
It changes behaviour so that only the protocol enabled by driver's
map_name will be active after registration. This breaks user space
behaviour, lirc does not get key press signals anymore.
Enable lirc protocol by default for ir raw decoders to restore original

The basic API of rc-core used to be:

dev->x = a;
dev->y = b;
dev->z = c;
rc_register_device();
which is a pretty common pattern in the kernel, after the introduction of
protocol arrays the API looks something like:
dev = rc_allocate_device();
dev->x = a;
rc_set_allowed_protocols(dev, RC_BIT_X);
dev->z = c;
rc_register_device();
There's no real need for the protocols to be an array, so change it
back to be consistent (and in preparation for the following patches).

When either of the normal or wakeup filter protocols are changed,
refresh the corresponding scancode filter, i.e. try and set the same
scancode filter with the new protocol. If that fails clear the filter
instead.
If no protocol was selected the filter is just cleared, and if no
s_filter callback exists the filter is left unmodified.
Similarly clear the filter mask when the filter is set if no protocol is
currently selected.
This simplifies driver code which no longer has to explicitly worry
about modifying the filter on a protocol change. This also allows the
change_wakeup_protocol callback to be omitted entirely if there is only
a single available wakeup protocol at a time, since selecting no
protocol will automatically clear the wakeup filter, disabling wakeup.

- wakeup_filter: wakeup scancode filter value
- wakeup_filter_mask: wakeup scancode filter mask
A new s_filter() driver callback is added which must arrange for the

Since v3.12, specifically 153a60bb0f ([media] rc: add feedback led
trigger for rc keypresses), an LED trigger is activated on IR keydown
whether or not a keypress is generated (i.e. even if there's no matching
keycode). However the repeat and keyup logic isn't used unless there is
a keypress, which results in non-keypress keydown events turning on the
LED and not turning it off again.

valid key presses (you probably don't want it lighting up for the wrong
remote control for example), move the led_trigger_event() call inside

This patch adds user count to rc_dev structure, the reason to add this
new member is to allow other code like lirc to open rc device directly.
In the existing code, rc device is only opened by input subsystem which
works ok if we have any input drivers to match. But in case like lirc
where there will be no input driver, rc device will be never opened.
Having this user count variable will be usefull to allow rc device to be
opened from code other than rc-main.
This patch also adds rc_open and rc_close functions for other drivers
like lirc to open and close rc devices. This functions safely increment
and decrement the user count. Other driver wanting to open rc device
should call rc_open and rc_close, rather than directly modifying the
rc_dev structure.

The RC_TYPE_* defines are currently used both where a single protocol is
expected and where a bitmap of protocols is expected.
Functions like rc_keydown() and functions which add/remove entries to the
keytable want a single protocol. Future userspace APIs would also
benefit from numeric protocols (rather than bitmap ones). Keytables are
smaller if they can use a small(ish) integer rather than a bitmap.
Other functions or struct members (e.g. allowed_protos,
enabled_protocols, etc) accept multiple protocols and need a bitmap.
Using different types reduces the risk of programmer error. Using a
protocol enum whereever possible also makes for a more future-proof
user-space API as we don't need to worry about a sufficient number of
bits being available (e.g. in structs used for ioctl() calls).
The use of both a number and a corresponding bit is dalso one in e.g.
the input subsystem as well (see all the references to set/clear bit when
changing keytables for example).
This patch separate the different usages in preparation for
upcoming patches.
Where a single protocol is expected, enum rc_type is used; where one or more
protocol(s) are expected, something like u64 is used.
The patch has been rewritten so that the format of the sysfs "protocols"
file is no longer altered (at the loss of some detail). The file itself
should probably be deprecated in the future though.

For some reason, when the lirc daemon learns that a usb remote control
has been unplugged, it wants to read the sysfs attributes of the
disappearing device. This is useful for uncovering transient
inconsistencies, but less so for keeping the system running when such
inconsistencies exist.
Under some circumstances (like every time I unplug my dvb stick from
my laptop), lirc catches an rc_dev whose raw event handler has been
removed (presumably by ir_raw_event_unregister), and proceeds to
interrogate the raw protocols supported by the NULL pointer.
This patch avoids the NULL dereference, and ignores the issue of how
this state of affairs came about in the first place.
