[PATCH 5.14 063/172] media: ir_toy: prevent device from hanging during transmit

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Oct 04 2021 - 09:35:23 EST


From: Sean Young <sean@xxxxxxxx>

commit f0c15b360fb65ee39849afe987c16eb3d0175d0d upstream.

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.
