Title:
  writing to /sys/devices/.../rc/rc0/protocols blocks

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  The lirc  service depends on this to work, however the device blocks and subsequent reads are blocking afterwards as well.
  This causes the computer to not normally reboot/shutdown when it should.

  On 13.04
  Linux htpc 3.8.0-26-generic #38-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jun 17 21:43:33 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
  Using _imon_ infrared driver

  Reproduce:
  $ cd /sys/ ; cat `sudo find . -name *protocols*|grep rc0`

  Output [other] rc-6

  $ echo foo | sudo tee `sudo find . -name *protocols*|grep rc0`

  output:
  HANGS

  Expected error, or at the least a non-hanging/blocking result.
