V4L/DVB (8625): saa7134: Add NEC prococol IR decoding capability
This patch adds the capability of decoding NEC protocol, received via GPIO18 line. This GPIO port can trigger saa7134 IRQ. A future improvement would be to make it a little more generic to work also with GPIO16 line. A pure IRQ code didn't work, since some delays were introduced on the tests we did. A possible approach would be to use polling at a rate of 2.5 ms or less. If a new code were taken, a code similar to nec_task() could be used. However, this would add an extra overhead to kernel, and will consume more power. Due to that, we took an hybrid approach: an IRQ upper half to trigger when a new key is received and a bottom half to convert pulse-distance into a keycode. The bottom half is polling based, to improve performance. During the bottom half proccess, GPIO18 IRQ line is disabled, preventing IRQ reentrancy and improving performance a little bit. Thanks to Sistema Fenix (http://www.sistemafenix.com.br/) for sponsoring this development.
