This introduces a new lirc mode: scancode. Any device which can send raw IR
can now also send scancodes.
int main()
{
int mode, fd = open("/dev/lirc0", O_RDWR);
mode = LIRC_MODE_SCANCODE;
if (ioctl(fd, LIRC_SET_SEND_MODE, &mode)) {
// kernel too old or lirc does not support transmit
}
struct lirc_scancode scancode = {
.scancode = 0x1e3d,
.rc_proto = RC_PROTO_RC5,
};
write(fd, &scancode, sizeof(scancode));
close(fd);
}
The other fields of lirc_scancode must be set to 0.
Note that toggle (rc5, rc6) and repeats (nec) are not implemented. Nor is
there a method for holding down a key for a period.

Many user space API headers are missing licensing information, which
makes it hard for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default are files without license information under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPLV2. Marking them GPLV2 would exclude
them from being included in non GPLV2 code, which is obviously not
intended. The user space API headers fall under the syscall exception
which is in the kernels COPYING file:
NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel
services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use
of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work".
otherwise syscall usage would not be possible.
Update the files which contain no license information with an SPDX
license identifier. The chosen identifier is 'GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note' which is the officially assigned identifier for the
Linux syscall exception. SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne. See the previous patch in this series for the
methodology of how this patch was researched.

While reviewing the documentation gaps on LIRC, it was
noticed that several ioctls aren't used by any LIRC drivers
(nor at staging or mainstream).
It doesn't make sense to document them, as they're not used
anywhere. So, let's remove those from the lirc header.

The file include/media/lirc.h describes a public interface and
should thus be a public header. See kernel bug
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75751 which has
a manpage describing the interface + an acknowledgment that this
info belongs to uapi.
