Makes sense, but see below.

I don't think it would be a good idea to play with the module mutex
lock here or calling find_module(). This is something that no other driver
does (well, except for FB DRM driver, that dynamically loads a module
if not found).

Perhaps we could use some simpler logic, like storing some value if lirc
got loaded or not (worse case, we might use a static atomic var at rc core).

[PATCH] rc-core: improve the lirc protocol reporting

2015-07-22 Thread David Härdeman
Commit 275ddb40bcf686d210d86c6718e42425a6a0bc76 removed the lirc
"protocol" but kept backwards compatibility by always listing
the protocol as present and enabled. This patch further improves
the logic by only listing the protocol if the lirc module is loaded
(or if lirc is builtin).
