Subject: media: ir_toy: prevent device from hanging during transmit
Author:  Sean Young <sean@mess.org>
Date:    Tue Sep 14 16:57:46 2021 +0200

If the IR Toy is receiving IR while a transmit is done, it may end up
hanging. We can prevent this from happening by re-entering sample mode
just before issuing the transmit command.
