+LIRC write fop

+The data written to the chardev is a pulse/space sequence of integer
+values. Pulses and spaces are only marked implicitly by their position.
+The data must start and end with a pulse, therefore, the data must
+always include an uneven number of samples. The write function must
+block until the data has been transmitted by the hardware. If more data
+is provided than the hardware can send, the driver returns ``EINVAL``.
