Re: [PATCH 2/8] ir-rx51: Handle signals properly

The lirc-dev expects the ir-code to be transmitted when the write call
returns back to the user space. We should not leave TX ongoing no
matter what is the reason we return to the user space. Easiest
solution for that is to simply remove interruptible sleeps.

The first wait_event_interruptible is thus replaced with return -EBUSY
in case there is still ongoing transfer. This should suffice as the
concept of sending multiple codes in parallel does not make sense.

The second wait_event_interruptible call is replaced with
wait_even_timeout with a fixed and safe timeout that should prevent
the process from getting stuck in kernel for too long.

Also, from now on we will force the TX to stop before we return from
write call. If the TX happened to time out for some reason, we should
not leave the HW transmitting anything.
