You really should run Lindent on the sources too. Pekka, it would be better if you could sort out most of the basic issues with lirc directly with the developers of lirc and then prepare a complete patch series and post that to lkml. Incrementally adding one driver after another. Posting patches to non-existent sources to lkml is pointless. First create a discussion base, please. > Signed-off-by: Pekka Enberg > --- > > drivers/lirc_atiusb/lirc_atiusb.c | 102 ----------------- > drivers/lirc_bt829/lirc_bt829.c | 9 - You might want to fix the directory structure first and check which drivers already exist in-tree. Also, as Vincent noted, most drivers have to be converted to use the input layer first.
