Hi Viktor,

The driver look great! Thanks for making those changes. Just two minor
comments.

This driver uses the term "blaster" rather "transmitter" or "tx". Is
there a good reason for this? None of the other IR transmitters use the
term blaster; the rc core kapi also only talks about tx.

"IR Blaster" seems like a marketing term for what is essentially a led
switching on and off.

Right now the interrupt handler could still called, if the previous tx
was interrupted early with a signal. This should also be in spinlock
so we make sure we are not sending garbage.

Here the debug talks about tx, not blasting.
