From 574bdc51e4893855db973308d8fe4d5b7d56ad43 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sean Young Date: Fri, 6 Oct 2023 22:31:52 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] media: lirc: drop trailing space from scancode transmit commit c8a489f820179fb12251e262b50303c29de991ac upstream. When transmitting, infrared drivers expect an odd number of samples; iow without a trailing space. No problems have been observed so far, so this is just belt and braces.
