Can you elaborate?
I'm not sure how that can be done, since the issue with the
gpio-ir driver stems from the fact that there's no tail-end
interrupt at the end of a burst. I think this isn't needed
for other hardware.
It seems that the call to schedule() in ir_raw_event_thread()
could be changed to schedule_timeout(), but
- this should only be done when not idle, and
- only some hardware drivers need it
I'm also not familiar with the rest of the code, so I'd
be concerned about breaking other interfaces.
Please advise,
Eric
