rc-core kapi uses nanoseconds for infrared durations for receiving, and
microseconds for sending. The uapi already uses microseconds for both,
so this patch does not change the uapi.
Infrared durations do not need nanosecond resolution. IR protocols do not
have durations shorter than about 100 microseconds. Some IR hardware offers
250 microseconds resolution, which is sufficient for most protocols.
Better hardware has 50 microsecond resolution and is enough for every
protocol I am aware off.
Unify on microseconds everywhere. This simplifies the code since less
conversion between microseconds and nanoseconds needs to be done.
This affects:
- rx_resolution member of struct rc_dev
- timeout member of struct rc_dev
- duration member in struct ir_raw_event
