Subject: [PATCH] media: lirc: drop trailing space from scancode transmit
Git-commit: c8a489f820179fb12251e262b50303c29de991ac
Patch-mainline: v6.7-rc1
References: git-fixes
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.
