V4L/DVB: IR: extend interfaces to support more device settings
LIRC: add new IOCTL that enables learning mode (wide band receiver) Still missing features: carrier report & timeout reports. Will need to pack these into ir_raw_event Signed-off-by: Maxim Levitsky <maximlevitsky@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@redhat.com>

+ <listitem>
+ <para>Some receivers are equipped with special wide band receiver which is intended
+ to be used to learn output of existing remote.
+ Calling that ioctl with (1) will enable it, and with (0) disable it.
+ This might be useful of receivers that have otherwise narrow band receiver
+ that prevents them to be used with some remotes.
+ Wide band receiver might also be more precise
+ On the other hand its disadvantage it usually reduced range of reception.
+ Note: wide band receiver might be implictly enabled if you enable
+ carrier reports. In that case it will be disabled as soon as you disable
+ carrier reports. Trying to disable wide band receiver while carrier
+ reports are active will do nothing.</para>
