[RFC 7/7] [media] rc: add support for IR LEDs driven through SPI

From: Andi Shyti
Date: Tue Jul 19 2016 - 11:58:46 EST


The ir-spi is a simple device driver which supports the
connection between an IR LED and the MOSI line of an SPI device.

The driver, indeed, uses the SPI framework to stream the raw data
provided by userspace through a character device. The chardev is
handled by the LIRC framework and its functionality basically
provides:

- raw write: data to be sent to the SPI and then streamed to the
MOSI line;
- set frequency: sets the frequency whith which the data should
be sent;

The character device is created under /dev/lircX name, where X is
and ID assigned by the LIRC framework.

Example of usage:

fd = open("/dev/lirc0", O_RDWR);
if (fd < 0)
return -1;

val = 608000;
ret = ioctl(fd, LIRC_SET_SEND_CARRIER, &val);
if (ret < 0)
return -1;

n = write(fd, buffer, BUF_LEN);
if (n < 0 || n != BUF_LEN)
ret = -1;

close(fd);
