Same reply I sent to the patch on the lirc list:
Yeah, I'm reasonably sure that'll do the trick, since clearly, store_protocols
is getting called after we've already started working our way through
ir_input_unregister, so if drvdata is set to NULL before we enter
ir_input_unregister and we check for NULL ir_dev in {store,show}_protocols, we
should be good.
