Sylwester,

I am not familiar with RC internals either. Maybe somebody with more
insight in media/rc can clarify the specific needs for the rc subsystem.
I was just transferring the DT support approach taken by gpio_keys to
gpio_ir_recv as I will be using it on mach-dove/cubox soon.

Actually, this is how the internal rc code works. If there is nothing
defined for allowed_protocols it assumes that all protocols are supported.
That is why above node properties are optional.

About the binding documentation of allowed_protocols, rc_map, or the
default behavior of current linux code, I don't think they will stay
in-sync for long. I'd rather completely remove those os-specific properties
from DT, but that hits the above statement about the needs of media/rc
subsystem.

Ok. Now that you point at it, I agree that this check and the error
below is not needed. It is in gpio_keys, so that explains why it also
moved in here.

Actually, I am not assigning the parsed gpio_ir_recv_platform_data to
pdev->dev.platform_data but pdata ptr instead. Either I don't see the
difference in pointer assignments between your code and mine or you
were mislead from struct gpio_ir_recv_platform_data above.

Anyway, I agree to test for pdev->dev.of_node and call gpio_ir_recv_parse_dt
if set.

Ok, I will change that.

Thanks for the review!
