[ Upstream commit 8e175b22e8640bf3a58e071af54190b909e4a944 ]

Intermittent RX truncation and loss of IR received data. This resulted
in receive stream synchronization errors where driver attempted to
incorrectly parse IR data (eg 0x90 below) as command response.

[ 3969.139898] mceusb 1-1.2:1.0: processed IR data

Bug trigger appears to be normal, but heavy, IR receiver use.

commit 58fd55e838276a0c13d1dc7c387f90f25063cbf3 upstream.

It seems that the return value of usb_ifnum_to_if() can be NULL and
needs to be checked.

commit bd7e31bbade02bc1e92aa00d5cf2cee2da66838a upstream.

gcc-7 suggests that an expression using a bitwise not and a bitmask
on a 'bool' variable is better written using boolean logic:

drivers/media/rc/imon.c: In function 'imon_incoming_scancode':
drivers/media/rc/imon.c:1725:22: error: '~' on a boolean expression [-Werror=bool-operation]
    ictx-&gt;pad_mouse = ~(ictx-&gt;pad_mouse) &amp; 0x1;
                      ^
drivers/media/rc/imon.c:1725:22: note: did you mean to use logical not?

I agree.

[ Upstream commit bbdb34c90aeb8b2253eae88029788ebe1d7f2fd4 ]

Fix RC5 decoding with Fintek CIR chipset

Commit e87b540be2dd02552fb9244d50ae8b4e4619a34b tightened up the RC5
decoding by adding a check for trailing silence to ensure a valid RC5
command had been received. Unfortunately the trailer length checked was
10 units and the Fintek CIR device does not want to provide details of a
space longer than 6350us. This meant that RC5 remotes working on a
Fintek setup on 3.16 failed on 3.17 and later. Fix this by shortening
the trailer check to 6 units (allowing for a previous space in the
received remote command).

commit 983c5bd26b86ba1c0d79b770e596bb8b77e42f32 upstream.

Since commit da6e162d6a46 ("[media] rc-core: simplify sysfs code"), when
the IR protocol is set using the sysfs interface to the same set of
protocols that are already set, store_protocols() does not refresh the
scancode filter with the new protocol, even if it has already called the
change_protocol() callback successfully. This results in the filter
being disabled in the hardware and not re-enabled until the filter is
set again using sysfs.

Fix in store_protocols() by still re-applying the filter whenever the
change_protocol() driver callback succeeded.

The problem can be reproduced with the img-ir driver by setting a
filter, and then setting the protocol to the same protocol that is
already set:
$ echo nec &gt; protocols
$ echo 0xffff &gt; filter_mask
$ echo nec &gt; protocols

After this, messages which don't match the filter were still being
received.

Fixes: da6e162d6a46 ("[media] rc-core: simplify sysfs code")

commit 983c5bd26b86ba1c0d79b770e596bb8b77e42f32 upstream.

Since commit da6e162d6a46 ("[media] rc-core: simplify sysfs code"), when
the IR protocol is set using the sysfs interface to the same set of
protocols that are already set, store_protocols() does not refresh the
scancode filter with the new protocol, even if it has already called the
change_protocol() callback successfully. This results in the filter
being disabled in the hardware and not re-enabled until the filter is
set again using sysfs.

Fix in store_protocols() by still re-applying the filter whenever the
change_protocol() driver callback succeeded.

The problem can be reproduced with the img-ir driver by setting a
filter, and then setting the protocol to the same protocol that is
already set:
$ echo nec &gt; protocols
$ echo 0xffff &gt; filter_mask
$ echo nec &gt; protocols

After this, messages which don't match the filter were still being
received.

Fixes: da6e162d6a46 ("[media] rc-core: simplify sysfs code")

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.
