media: lirc: ensure lirc device receives repeats
Pressing a button on a remote control unit will typically lead to messages being sent several times per second until the button is released. Some remote control units indicate long key presses by sending special "repeat" messages, for which the protocol driver calls rc_repeat(). Other units repeat the same message over and over, which will be handled by calling rc_keydown(). The function rc_keydown() never set the LIRC "repeat" flag to distinguish repeated messages that were sent due to a long keypress, and messages sent due to repeated short keypresses. While a user-space program may implement special logic to distinguish long keypresses, it is much simpler to be able to rely on the flag. Commit de142c32 ("media: lirc: implement reading scancode") would never set the LIRC_SCANCODE_FLAG_REPEAT flag. Commit b66218fd ("media: lirc: ensure lirc device receives nec repeats") fixed it up for rc_repeat() but not rc_keydown().
