Dear Sean Young and all,
In the last year, a change of the value of LIRCBUF_SIZE from 256 to 1024 was committed to the master branch at the time, and the new value can be used in the kernel 5.3 or later.
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/5c4c8b4a999019f19e770cb55cbacb89c95...
This change of LIRCBUF_SIZE was proposed in order to treat long IR sequences of remote controllers on Raspberry Pi.
However, Raspberry Pi now uses kernel 4.19, so the new value cannot be used.
Can you backport the above commit to the older kernels, i.e., 4.19, 4.20, 5.0, 5.1, and 5.2?
I'd like to propose this commit for the stable tree, from kernel 4.16 to 5.2. It has been in the tree from v5.3 onwards and no regressions have been found.
The only kernel being supported in that range is 4.19 at the moment, so I'll queue it up now, thanks. All other kernel trees are long end-of-life and no one should be using them anymore.
thanks,
