If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Austin Lund commit a8f29e89f2b54fbf2c52be341f149bc195b63a8b upstream. Userspace expects to see a long space before the first pulse is sent on the lirc device. Currently, if a long time has passed and a new packet is started, the lirc codec just returns and doesn't send anything. This makes lircd ignore many perfectly valid signals unless they are sent in quick sucession. When a reset event is delivered, we cannot know anything about the duration of the space. But it should be safe to assume it has been a long time and we just set the duration to maximum.
