Re: [PATCH] [media] Staging: media/lirc: don't call put_ir_rx on rx twice

This one is a false positive. The original code is correct.

I was looking through my mail boxes to see the history of this and why
it hadn't been fixed earlier. Someone tried to fix it in 2011:
https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-driver-devel/msg17403.html
Then I complained about it again in 2014 when I was looking at a
different bug in that same function. Now you're the third person to
think this code is suspicious.

I think part of the problem is that get_ir_rx(ir) is hidden as a
function parameter instead of on its own line. But really even that
wouldn't totally fix the issue.
