V4L/DVB (8625): saa7134: Add NEC prococol IR decoding capability
This patch adds the capability of decoding NEC protocol, received via GPIO18 line.
This GPIO port can trigger saa7134 IRQ.
A future improvement would be to make it a little more generic to work also
with GPIO16 line.
A pure IRQ code didn't work, since some delays were introduced on the tests we
did.
A possible approach would be to use polling at a rate of 2.5 ms or less. If a
new code were taken, a code similar to nec_task() could be used. However, this
would add an extra overhead to kernel, and will consume more power.
Due to that, we took an hybrid approach: an IRQ upper half to trigger when a
new key is received and a bottom half to convert pulse-distance into a keycode.
The bottom half is polling based, to improve performance. During the bottom
half proccess, GPIO18 IRQ line is disabled, preventing IRQ reentrancy and
improving performance a little bit.
