    V4L/DVB: ir-core: rename sysfs remote controller class from ir to rc · e202c15b
    Mauro Carvalho Chehab authored
    IR is an alias for Infrared Remote, while RC is an alias for Remote
    Controller.
    
    While currently all implementations are with Infrared Remote Controller,
    this subsystem is not meant to be used only by IR type of RC's. So,
    as discussed on both linux-media and linux-input, the better is to
    rename the subsystem as Remote Controller.
    
    While, currently, the only application that uses the /sys/class/irrcv is
    ir-keytable application, and its sysfs support works only with the
    current linux-next code, it is still possible to change the userspace API
    without the risk of breaking applications. So, better to rename this
    sooner than later.
    
    Later patches will be needed to rename the files and to move them away
    from drivers/media, but this is not a critical issue. So, for now,
    let's just change the name of the sysfs class/nodes.
