[PATCH 2/3] media: rc: decoders do not need to check for transitions

[Sean Young]

Drivers should never produce consecutive pulse or space raw events. Should
that occur, we would have bigger problems than this code is trying to
guard against.

Note that we already log an error should a driver misbehave.

[PATCH 3/3] media: rc: winbond: do not send reset and timeout raw events on startup

[Sean Young]

ir_raw_event_set_idle() sends a timeout event which is not needed, and
on startup no reset event is needed either.

Hi,

Since the inclusion of this patch, every 3 to 15 seconds, I get the following
message: 

 "rc rc0: two consecutive events of type space"

on the console of amlogic s400 platform (arch/arm64/boot/dts/amlogic/meson-axg-

worth investigating in the related driver, but ...

... considering that we continue the processing as if nothing happened, is it
really an error ? 

Could we consider something less invasive ? like dev_dbg() or dev_warn_once() ?

Maybe it should be dev_warn(). The fact that it is not dev_warn_once() means
that we now know this occurs regularly.

Would you mind testing the following patch please?

The meson generates one edge per interrupt. The duration is encoded in 12
bits of 10 microseconds, so it can only encoding a maximum of 40
milliseconds. As a result, it can produce multiple space events.

Actually this patch is broken. ir_raw_event_store_with_timeout() generates
IR timeouts, but ir_raw_event_store_with_filter() does not.

So this will need some rethinking. I think we need a 
ir_raw_event_store_with_timeout_with_filter() but that is getting silly now.

Maybe filter should be a boolean property of an rc device and happen
transparently. I'll write something like that when I get some time.

Yes, as much as I dislike it, I think that is the right solution for now.

Subject: [PATCH] media: rc: be less noisy when driver misbehaves

Since commit 48231f289e52 ("media: rc: drivers should produce alternate
pulse and space timing events"), on meson-ir we are regularly producing
errors. Reduce to warning level and only warn once to avoid flooding
the log.

A proper fix for meson-ir is going to be too large for v4.18.
