[PATCH 02/15] lirc_dev: allow bufferless driver registration

[Andi Shyti]

Some drivers don't necessarily need to have a FIFO managed buffer
for their transfers. Drivers now should call
lirc_register_bufferless_driver in order to handle the buffer
themselves.

The function works exaclty like lirc_register_driver except of
the buffer allocation.
