#83647 — Bug#1079441: linux-image-rpi IR support

Package: linux-image-rpi
Version: 6.9.7-1~bpo12+1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Debian rpi kernel has missing IR support in because it has not set CONFIG_IR_GPIO_CIR and CONFIG_IR_GPIO_TX. 

Every user who needs IR support has to recompile kernel from source.

Can we enable GPIO support by default?

In rpi kernel source
(https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/tree/rpi-6.10.y) can be found dts
files for booth modules required to enable IR. Here is an example how
config.txt should be changed:

dtoverlay=gpio-ir,gpio_pin=14
dtoverlay=gpio-ir-tx,gpio_pin=15

According to ./arch/arm/boot/dts/overlays/README gpio-ir is an
gpio_ir_recv module. Kernel config should be also adjusted to enable
those modules:

CONFIG_IR_GPIO_CIR=m
CONFIG_IR_GPIO_TX=m
