When trying to create persistent device names for mceusb and streamzap
devices, I noticed that their respective drivers are not creating the rc
device as a child of the USB device. Rather it creates it as virtual
device. As a result, udev cannot use the USB device information to
create persistent device names for event and lirc devices associated
with the rc device. Not having persistent device names makes it more
difficult to make use of the devices in userspace as their names can
change.
Forward-ported to media_tree staging/for_v2.6.38 and tested with
both streamzap and mceusb devices:
$ ll /dev/input/by-id/
...
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 9 Nov 17 17:06 usb-Streamzap__Inc._Streamzap_Remote_Control-event-if00 -> ../event6
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 9 Nov 17 17:05 usb-Topseed_Technology_Corp._eHome_Infrared_Transceiver_TS000BzY-event-if00 -> ../event5
Previously, nada.

The Remote Controller subsystem is meant to be used not only by Infra Red
but also for similar types of Remote Controllers. The core is not specific
to Infra Red. As such, rename:
- ir-core.h to rc-core.h
- IR_CORE to RC_CORE
- namespace inside rc-core.c/rc-core.h
To be consistent with the other changes.
No functional change on this patch.

This patch merges the ir_input_dev and ir_dev_props structs into a single
struct called rc_dev. The drivers and various functions in rc-core used
by the drivers are also changed to use rc_dev as the primary interface
when dealing with rc-core.
This means that the input_dev is abstracted away from the drivers which
is necessary if we ever want to support multiple input devs per rc device.
The new API is similar to what the input subsystem uses, i.e:
rc_device_alloc()
rc_device_free()
rc_device_register()
rc_device_unregister()
