From 68a99f6a0ebfe9101ea79ba5af1c407a5ad4f629 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sean Young Date: Sat, 15 Jan 2022 11:19:11 +0100 Subject: media: lirc: report ir receiver overflow If the driver reports that the hardware had an overflow, report this to userspace. It would be nice to know when this happens, and not just get a long space. This change has been tested with lircd, ir-ctl, and ir-keytable.
