[PATCH v6 1/6] [media] rc-main: assign driver type during allocation

From: Andi Shyti <hidden>
Date: 2016-12-18 11:21:52
Also in: linux-leds, linux-media, lkml
Subsystem: arm/sti architecture, bttv video4linux driver, cec framework, cx88 video4linux driver, dvb_usb_v2 media driver, em28xx video4linux driver, ene kb2426 (ene0100/ene020xx) infrared receiver, hid core layer, igorplug-usb ir receiver, iguanaworks usb ir transceiver, imgtec ir decoder driver, imon soundgraph usb ir receiver, media input infrastructure (v4l/dvb), picolcd hid driver, rc-core / lirc framework, saa7134 video4linux driver, serial ir receiver, siano dvb driver, technotrend usb ir receiver, the rest, winbond cir driver · Maintainers: Patrice Chotard, Mauro Carvalho Chehab, Hans Verkuil, Maxim Levitsky, Jiri Kosina, Benjamin Tissoires, Sean Young, Bruno Prémont, Linus Torvalds, David Härdeman

The driver type can be assigned immediately when an RC device
requests to the framework to allocate the device.

This is an 'enum rc_driver_type' data type and specifies whether
the device is a raw receiver or scancode receiver. The type will
be given as parameter to the rc_allocate_device device.

Change accordingly all the drivers calling rc_allocate_device()
so that the device type is specified during the rc device
allocation. Whenever the device type is not specified, it will be
set as RC_DRIVER_SCANCODE which was the default '0' value.
