Bug description:
  SRU Justification:

  Per the following discussion on the Ubuntu kernel team mailing list:

  https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kernel-team/2010-October/013181.html

  It's been requested/suggested that we pull in some additional ir-core
  updates.  Highlights of these updates include:

   * proper auto-config of another imon 0xffdc device
   * imon key release fixups (was possible for keys to get stuck down)
   * lirc_ene0100 replaced with ene_ir (ported to ir-core)
   * new nuvoton (ASRock ION 330HT) ir driver
   * lirc compat ioctl fixups so 64-bit kernel, 32-bit userspace works

  Impact:

  All of the proposed changes have officially landed upstream.  However,
  due to the large amount of changes which specifically touch the IR
  subsystem, it's proposed we release this via linux-backports-modules.
  A summary of the complete patch set is as follows:

   * Revert "UBUNTU: SAUCE: ir-core: Fix null dereferences in the protocols sysfs interface"
   * V4L/DVB: mceusb: add two new ASUS device IDs
   * V4L/DVB: dib0700: break keytable into NEC and RC-5 variants
   * V4L/DVB: IR: Kconfig fixes
   * V4L/DVB: IR: minor fixes
   * V4L/DVB: IR: replace spinlock with mutex
   * V4L/DVB: IR: replace workqueue with kthread
   * V4L/DVB: ir-core: Remove magic numbers at the sysfs logic
   * V4L/DVB: ir-core: Rename sysfs protocols nomenclature to rc-5 and rc-6
   * V4L/DVB: ir-core: Add support for disabling all protocols
   * V4L/DVB: ir-core: allow specifying multiple protocols at one open/write
   * V4L/DVB: IR: add ir-core to lirc userspace decoder bridge driver
   * V4L/DVB: IR: Allow not to compile keymaps in
   * V4L/DVB: ir-core: Fix null dereferences in the protocols sysfs interface
   * V4L/DVB: IR/streamzap: functional in-kernel decoding
   * [media] ir: avoid race conditions at device disconnect
   * V4L/DVB: IR: add helper function for hardware with small o/b buffer
   * V4L/DVB: IR: extend interfaces to support more device settings
   * V4L/DVB: IR: report unknown scancodes the in-kernel decoders found
   * V4L/DVB: IR: JVC: make repeat work
   * V4L/DVB: IR: nec decoder: fix repeat
   * V4L/DVB: IR: NECX: support repeat
   * V4L/DVB: drivers/media: Remove unnecessary casts of private_data
   * V4L/DVB: STAGING: remove lirc_ene0100 driver
   * V4L/DVB: IR: Port ene driver to new IR subsystem and enable it
   * V4L/DVB: IR: fix duty cycle capability
   * V4L/DVB: IR: fix keys beeing stuck down forever
   * V4L/DVB: IR: extend MCE keymap
   * IR: add driver for Nuvoton w836x7hg integrated CIR
   * nuvoton-cir: add proper rx fifo overrun handling
   * IR/Kconfig: sort hardware entries alphabetically
   * V4L/DVB: IR: export ir_keyup so imon driver can use it directly
   * V4L/DVB: imon: split mouse events to a separate input dev
   * V4L/DVB: IR/imon: protect ictx's kc and last_keycode w/spinlock
   * V4L/DVB: IR/imon: set up mce-only devices w/mce keytable
   * V4L/DVB: IR/lirc_dev: check for valid irctl in unregister path
   * IR/lirc: further ioctl portability fixups
   * lirc: wire up .compat_ioctl to main ioctl handler
   * lirc_dev: fixup error messages w/missing newlines
   * V4L/DVB: rc-core: increase repeat time
   * V4L/DVB: Fix IR_CORE dependencies
   * V4L/DVB: IR/lirc: use memdup_user instead of copy_from_user
   * V4L/DVB: media/IR: testing the wrong variable
   * V4L/DVB: media/IR: nec-decoder needs to select BITREV
   * V4L/DVB: IR keymap: Add print button for HP OEM version of MCE remote
   * UBUNTU: SAUCE: update streamzap support from upstream
   * V4L/DVB: IR/mceusb: less generic callback name and remove cruft
   * [media] lirc: Make struct file_operations pointer const

  Test Case: TBD
