IR reciever using nuvoton-cir and lirc required additional configuration
steps after upgrade from kernel 3.16 to 3.17-rcX.
Bisected regression to commit da6e162d6a4607362f8478c715c797d84d449f8b
("[media] rc-core: simplify sysfs code").
The regression comes from adding empty function change_protocol in
ir-raw.c. It changes behaviour so that only the protocol enabled by driver's
map_name will be active after registration. This breaks user space behaviour,
lirc does not get key press signals anymore.
Changed back to original behaviour by removing empty function
change_protocol in ir-raw.c. Instead only calling change_protocol for
drivers that actually have the function set up.

Change default setting for enabled protocols.
Instead of enabling all protocols during registration,
disable all except default keymap and lirc.
Reduces overhead since all protocols not handled by default.
Protocol to use will be enabled when keycode table is written by userspace.

The idea was to remove the empty change_protocol function that had
been added in the breaking commit.
IMHO, it would be better to not have functions that don't do anything.
Actually, another problem with that empty function is that if the
driver first sets up a "real" change_protocol function and related
data, and then calls rc_register_device, the driver defined
change_protocol function would be overwritten.

But otherwise yes, your suggestion could work, with the addition that
we still need to update enabled_protocols (and not init
enabled_protocols anymore in ir_raw_event_register() ).
+ dev->enabled_protocols = (rc_type | RC_BIT_LIRC);
Please let me know your preferences on which you prefer, and, if
needed, I'll make a new patch version.

The empty function was added for a reason? The presence of a
change_protocol function implies that the receiver supports protocol
changing (whether it's via the raw IR decoding or in hardware).

change_protocol is only set if it's a driver that does in-kernel
decoding...meaning that it generates pulse/space timings...meaning that
hardware protocol changes aren't necessary?

First, enabled_protocols is already taken care of in the above patch
(the line after "goto out_raw" is "dev->enabled_protocols = rc_type;")?
Second, initializing enabled_protocols to some default in
ir_raw_event_register() might not be strictly necessary but it also
doesn't hurt since that happens before dev->change_protocol() is called
in rc_register_device()?

I'd prefer the above, minimal, approach. But it's Mauro who decides in
the end.

Then let's just go with that approach and see if it's ok with Mauro.
