Dear Linux developers,

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.
