cinergyT2-core.c - Fix remote key stroke hang

[Stephan Loescher]

Dear Linux developers,

My first try to send the patch was not successful as it seems, so I try 
it again.

I hope I found the right way to report a Linux Kernel bug for the file
drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb/cinergyT2-core.c
If not, please tell me!

Issue is: I have a Terratec Cinergy T2 and when I press the UP/DOWN/
LEFT/RIGHT buttons on the remote control, this keypress is repeated
endlessly, which I can see in evtest.
I made a workaround for this with this little patch:

  #define RC_REPEAT_DELAY 3

  static int repeatable_keys[] = {
-    KEY_UP,
-    KEY_DOWN,
-    KEY_LEFT,
-    KEY_RIGHT,
      KEY_VOLUMEUP,
      KEY_VOLUMEDOWN,
      KEY_CHANNELUP,

I don't understand what the code does with that "repeatable_keys", but
after I removed them from that array and inserted the changed Kernel
module, the remote control sends only single key presses as expected.
Can you please review and hopefully change the code?
I think all other Cinergy owners might be happy, too. 🙂

The other keys in the repeatable_keys array show the same issue, but I
don't need them.

I used Kernel version 6.18.4.

Best regards,
Stephan.
