+/**
+ * struct lirc_driver - Defines the parameters on a LIRC driver
+ *
+ * @name:		this string will be used for logs
+ *
+ * @minor:		indicates minor device (/dev/lirc) number for
+ *			registered driver if caller fills it with negative
+ *			value, then the first free minor number will be used
+ *			(if available).
+ *
+ * @code_length:	length of the remote control key code expressed in bits.
+ *
+ * @buffer_size:	Number of FIFO buffers with @chunk_size size. If zero,
+ *			creates a buffer with BUFLEN size (16 bytes).
+ *
+ * @sample_rate:	if zero, the device will wait for an event with a new
+ *			code to be parsed. Otherwise, specifies the sample
+ *			rate for polling. Value should be between 0
+ *			and HZ. If equal to HZ, it would mean one polling per
+ *			second.
+ *
+ * @features:		lirc compatible hardware features, like LIRC_MODE_RAW,
+ *			LIRC_CAN_*, as defined at include/media/lirc.h.
+ *
+ * @chunk_size:		Size of each FIFO buffer.
+ *
+ * @data:		it may point to any driver data and this pointer will
+ *			be passed to all callback functions.
+ *
+ * @min_timeout:	Minimum timeout for record. Valid only if
+ *			LIRC_CAN_SET_REC_TIMEOUT is defined.
+ *
+ * @max_timeout:	Maximum timeout for record. Valid only if
+ *			LIRC_CAN_SET_REC_TIMEOUT is defined.
+ *
+ * @add_to_buf:		add_to_buf will be called after specified period of the
+ *			time or triggered by the external event, this behavior
+ *			depends on value of the sample_rate this function will
+ *			be called in user context. This routine should return
+ *			0 if data was added to the buffer and -ENODATA if none
+ *			was available. This should add some number of bits
+ *			evenly divisible by code_length to the buffer.
+ *
+ * @rbuf:		if not NULL, it will be used as a read buffer, you will
+ *			have to write to the buffer by other means, like irq's
+ *			(see also lirc_serial.c).
+ *
+ * @set_use_inc:	set_use_inc will be called after device is opened
+ *
+ * @set_use_dec:	set_use_dec will be called after device is closed
+ *
+ * @rdev:		Pointed to struct rc_dev associated with the LIRC
+ *			device.
+ *
+ * @fops:		file_operations for drivers which don't fit the current
+ *			driver model.
+ *			Some ioctl's can be directly handled by lirc_dev if the
+ *			driver's ioctl function is NULL or if it returns
+ *			-ENOIOCTLCMD (see also lirc_serial.c).
+ *
+ * @dev:		pointer to the struct device associated with the LIRC
+ *			device.
+ *
+ * @owner:		the module owning this struct
