No drivers of type RC_DRIVER_IR_RAW_TX should handle tx just like any
other device, so data should be provided as an array of u32 alternating
pulse-space. If your device does not handle input like that then convert
it into that format in the driver. Every other driver has to do some
sort of conversion of that kind.

Thanks
