Hello,
I would like to contribute to the infrared source code and learn the procedure for submitting patches.
My first patch is of the utmost importance :-) because here is a dump of ir-keytable output:

Found /sys/class/rc/rc0/ with:
	Name: gpio_ir_recv
	Driver: gpio_ir_recv
	Default keymap: rc-rc6-mce
	Input device: /dev/input/event0
	LIRC device: /dev/lirc1
	Attached BPF protocols: Operation non permise
	Supported kernel protocols: lirc rc-5 rc-5-sz jvc sony nec sanyo mce_kbd rc-6 sharp xmp imon
	Enabled kernel protocols: lirc sony
	bus: 25, vendor/product: 0001:0001, version: 0x0100
	Repeat delay = 500 ms, repeat period = 125 ms

And what annoys me if the fact that the last line does not respect the key: value syntax because 
we have 

Repeat delay = 500 ms, repeat period = 125 ms 
instead of 
Repeat delay: 500 ms, repeat period: 125 ms

and because of this I cannot even write a simple python script to analyse this output without writing some ugly code
to handle this last line.
So my first patch would be:

Thanks

Your patch got mangled by your email client and does not work, see

https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/submitting-patches.html

Secondly there are translations of this line which need updating.

However, I have fixed the patch and applied it:

https://git.linuxtv.org/v4l-utils.git/commit/?id=fcf62ab17d69bc9ddb59e8d0ee7a8b56d9eba336

Please next time make sure your patch is emailed correctly.

Thanks,

Sean
