If usb_submit_urb() fails during probe, then the error path is missing a
call to rc_unregister_device(), which will leak various things like the
input device.

In the allocation failure error path, the transmitting boolean is not
cleared. If this error path is followed the transmitter cannot be
used again until the device is replugged or the module reloaded.
Fix the error path by moving the assignment statement.
Remove the check for the transmitting state in transmit, since rc-core
ensures there is never a reentrant call to the driver transmit function;
the transmit function is always called with dev->lock held.
The transmitting boolean is only used for interpretting firmware errors.

Thanks for another try to improve the change description besides mentioned implementation details.

Can it be that commits were improvable already before I dared to adjust
also this function implementation?

How do you think about to increase the application of scope-based resource management
also for such a function implementation?

Would a revert be needed for this commit before further adjustments will be considered?

Changing the type of the rc device after allocation is ugly and
this will also break in a future commit. Ensure that the allocation

Device drivers can call ir_raw_event_store() or ir_raw_event_handle()
right after rc_allocate_device(). This means that while
rc_register_device() is being called, those functions can be called
from e.g. interrupt handlers.
Currently dev->raw is being allocated and populated by
ir_raw_event_prepare() which is called from rc_register_device(). This
is not done in a safe way, e.g. dev->raw is being set before the
raw members are populated.
Call ir_raw_event_prepare() from rc_allocate_device() instead.

If rc_unregister_device() is called while IR is being processed, then
ir_raw_event_handle() could call wake_up_process(dev->raw->thread)
after kthread_stop(dev->raw->thread). Avoid use after free by using
get_task_struct().
