[media] staging: media: lirc: Replace timeval with ktime_t in lirc_serial.c
'struct timeval tv' is used to get current time. 'static struct timeval lasttv' is used to get last interrupt time. 32-bit systems using 'struct timeval' will break in the year 2038, so we have to replace that code with more appropriate types. This patch changes the lirc_serial.c file of media: lirc to use ktime_t. ktime_get() is better than using do_gettimeofday(), because it uses the monotonic clock. ktime_sub is used to subtract two ktime variables. The check to test time going backwards is also removed. Intialization to static variable is also removed. ktime_to_us() is used to convert ktime_t to microsecond value. deltv is changed to delkt, a ktime_t type varibale from long to assign the ktime_sub value directly. ktime_compare is used to compare delkt with 15 seconds, which is changed to a nanosecond value by using ktime_set(). Build tested it. Signed-off-by: Tapasweni Pathak <tapaswenipathak@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@osg.samsung.com>
