Hi Sean,

I come across a problem when implementing this feature.

At probe stage, devm_rc_register_device -> change_protocol, then timeout set to 125ms.

When echo sony or nec to protocols, will call change_protocol changing the timeout value, that timeout would change to handler->min_timeout + 10ms. For sony is 16000000ns, for 15625000ns.
This is not the way I want to take before, this would frequently disable/enable cpuidle. So is it necessary to provide s_timeout, this callback should be used to change protocols' timeout?
If implement s_timeout, users need change the timeout value from userspace, this is a mandatory operation and unfriendly. And it will affect protocol's timeout.

Autosuspend delay should be fixed value, should be set to gpio device timeout value, which is 125ms.

Best Regards,
